Research Associate - Rational Design of Metal-Binding Peptides using Molecular Dynamics | Wissensch. Mitarbeiter (m/w/d) Rationales Design metallbindender Peptide mittels Molekulardynamik

Job Summary

This role involves developing theoretical models for circular, palladium-binding peptides, conducting extensive literature research on metal-binding organic molecules, and performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. A key aspect of the position is the application and further development of AI-supported methods for structure prediction and optimization, alongside quantum mechanical simulations (e.g., DFT, QM/MM) to characterize palladium binding. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in computational chemistry, biochemistry, or related fields, with expertise in molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, or AI methods in structural biology. This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive researcher to contribute to cutting-edge work in resource technology within an interdisciplinary and international team at a leading research center.
