[Computational-biology] Ph.D. Position in Computational Biophysical Chemistry

Ph.D. Position in Computational Biophysical Chemistry

A four year Ph.D. fellowship is available in the faculty of Chemistry at 
the University of the Basque Country, San Sebastian Spain. The Ph.D. 
project will make use of computational methods to investigate several 
issues in epigenetics that involve DNA-protein recognition. In 
particular, the driving force that governs the selectivity of 
hemi-methylated DNA by the regulatory protein UHRF1, as well as, the 
base flipping mechanism associated with this interaction. These studies 
will utilize molecular dynamics simulations and several techniques in 
free energy calculations. The candidate should have a Master (or an 
equivalent) degree in chemistry, physics, biology, or a related area, 
preferably from an EU country. The starting date of the position is 
flexible.
