[SA_Scat] Research Scientist / Postdoctoral Fellow Positions in Beijing CSRC

[Haiguang Liu]

Dear All,


Please find the following positions available in Beijing Computational
Science Research Center, China.


*Research Scientist / Postdoctoral Fellow Positions*


The *Computational structural biology group* (http://liulab.csrc.ac.cn) at
the Beijing Computational Science Research Center (CSRC) calls for
applications to fill *research scientist and postdoctoral positions* in the
following research areas,


*1. Computational method and software development in X-ray sciences. *Ongoing
activities and research collaborations include,

Developing open source programs for X-ray scattering data analysis and
model reconstruction/refinement

Method and software development for High-resolution structure determination
using data collected at X-ray free electron lasers, including single
particle scattering and serial crystallography data analysis

Integration of molecular dynamics simulation and time-resolved X-ray
scattering/diffraction data to reconstruct conformational transformations
for large molecules.

*2. Computational modeling and simulation of protein systems. **Ongoing
projects include*

*Simulation of GPCR proteins, prediction of ligand binding and stability*

*Investigation of nucleosome dynamics and packing, and the effect of
post-translation modification to the histone tails*

*3. Image analysis method and software development*

*Main task is to do image classification, 3D object reconstruction from 2D
images, 3D shape retrieval etc.*


*Successful applicants are expected to spend a few months each year at
Arizona State University, department of Physics in our collaboration with
the NSF Science and Technology Center for applications of X-ray lasers to
Biology.*

*There are also opportunities for joint appointment with Universities in
Hong Kong for outstanding applicants.*


*Qualifications**: Ideal candidates should have strong interest in
interdisciplinary research and be highly motivated to interact with
experimental groups. He/she should possess a PhD degree in physics,
biology, or a related theoretical discipline, with a solid background in
quantitative modeling and simulations. Independent problem-solving and
creative thinking skills are highly valued.*


*The Beijing Computational Science Research Center (CSRC) (*
*http://www.csrc.ac.cn* <http://www.csrc.ac.cn/>*) is an interdisciplinary
research center open to national and international collaborative
initiatives, equipped with advanced HPC machines.*


*CSRC offers competitive salaries and benefits, and excellent research
environments. Successful applicants will work closely with current lab
members. CSRC encourages and sponsors young researchers to apply for
his/her own research funding if necessary. Interested applicants please
send a full CV, a brief summary or statement of research, and two to three
reference letters by email to Dr. Haiguang Liu at**hgliu%csrc.ac.cn*
<hgliu%25csrc.ac.cn>*.*
