Postdoctoral positions


Applications are invited for postdoctoral and research assistant positions in the broad area of computational biology at the University of Washington.

Candidates interested in working on computational aspects of the following topics are encouraged to apply: protein structure prediction (comparative modelling, fold recognition, ab initio prediction, and algorithmic studies of the nature of large (conformational) spaces); protein function prediction (from sequence and structure); genomics/proteomics (predicting structure and function of whole genomes); bioinformatics/data mining; predicting membrane protein structure; protein design; docking; evolution; and understanding higher level organisation of protein pathways in the cell and simulating their behaviour.

The positions will be in the Samudrala Computational Biology Research Group located in the Rosen Building at the University of Washington. The building offers a diverse multidisciplinary intellectual environment, high-performance computing facilities, and great views.

Interested candidates are encouraged to submit a summary of research interests, a CV, and names and contact information of three references to:
