An up to two-year postdoc position starting 1 August (or as soon thereafter as convenient) is available at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Southern Denmark (SDU). Application deadline: 28 May 2020.

The catalytic core of an enzyme includes a network of amino acid residues that jointly transform a substrate. The objective of the project is to capture and represent in a computationally feasible way the possibilities inherent in the chemistry of amino acid residues in relation to given substrate classes and co-factors. The postdoctoral candidate will extract information from databases of enzyme mechanisms; identify the chemical behaviour of amino acid residues in conjunction with co-factors across a variety of contexts using computational tools; encode that behaviour as graph-transformation rules; and use the project's existing software platform to explore the chemical space engendered by these rules.

A central role of the selected candidate will be to interact with colleagues from computer science to assist with chemical sensibility in the development of causal analysis for reaction networks and in their dynamical simulation.

The ideal candidate has a background in biochemistry or organic chemistry as well as experience with computational approaches to chemistry or biology, such as cheminformatics or bioinformatics. The candidate's research will be central to a pilot grant led by a team committed to succeed. The nature of this project is highly exploratory. The candidate must therefore be able to improvise, grapple with ill-posed questions, and have an attitude conducive to creative problem solving in the context of an interdisciplinary team.

The position involves collaboration with colleagues at the University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School and includes the opportunity for extensive visits at these locations. The position comes with generous travel support in addition to a competitive salary.

For further information contact Professor Daniel Merkle (e-mail: [email protected], phone: +45 6550 2322).

Application, salary etc.
