Kungliga Tekniska högskolan,

Job description

The division of Biophysics develops some of the world’s most used tools for modelling biological systems, and leads the EU-funded center-of-excellence BioExcel. As part of this center, we seek a researcher who will work with development and advanced user support within BioExcel, in particular the program GROMACS. The duties involve implementation of new algorithms, making programs more user-friendly to solve concrete biological problems, and organizing education and user support, e.g. conferences. The work is part of a larger team, but has a large degree of independence and involves travel to collaborators both in Europe and the US.  

Qualifications

PhD in biophysics or equivalent field. Experience from working with GROMACS and parallel programming (C++, Python), using and documenting scientific applications. Prior experience from molecular dynamics method development in general, and GROMACS in particular, is a very strong merit, as is experience from modelling macromolecules such as proteins and membranes and combinations with experimental techniques such as cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography. Active research in the field is also a merit. The position requires a very good command of written and spoken English.
