Research Fellow in Computational Structural Biology

The University of Birmingham is seeking a Research Fellow to join the Computational Structural Biology group led by Prof. Teresa Carlomagno. The successful candidate will employ advanced computational techniques to investigate the structural and functional mechanisms of proteins, nucleic acids, and their complexes. This role involves integrating computational models with experimental data from sources such as NMR, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-electron microscopy. The appointee will be expected to develop novel methodologies and contribute to the group's research objectives at atomic resolution. This is an excellent opportunity for a researcher to work in a multidisciplinary environment focused on biomolecular dynamics and recognition.

• Develop and execute research objectives in computational structural biology.
• Perform advanced molecular dynamics simulations to study membrane proteins and macromolecular assemblies.
• Integrate computational models with experimental data from NMR, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-EM.
• Develop novel computational workflows, methodologies, and modeling strategies.
• Analyze and interpret complex simulation data, including dimensionality reduction and conformational landscape analysis.
• Disseminate research findings through peer-reviewed publications, seminars, and conferences.
• Supervise and provide guidance to PhD students within the research group.
• Contribute to the preparation of research funding applications.
