CONTEXT OF THE JOB:

The Hadden Lab (https://sites.udel.edu/jhadden/) in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of Delaware is seeking a postdoctoral researcher. The Hadden Lab specializes in molecular dynamics simulations of viral proteins and their assemblies. Under the supervision of Dr. Jodi Hadden-Perilla, the postdoctoral researcher will take the lead in applying molecular dynamics simulations to characterize super-fluorescent viromimetic particles derived from plant virus capsids, in a project funded by the National Science Foundation. To apply, applicants should submit a statement of interest, C.V., and contact information for three professional references.

MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Carry out high-quality computational research on viral protein dynamics.

  • Construct molecular models, integrating data from experimental sources.

  • Perform molecular dynamics simulations and related calculations.

  • Design, program, and execute hypothesis-driven analyses of molecular dynamics simulation trajectories.

  • Work up scientific data for publication and prepare manuscripts.

  • Attend national and/or international conferences to represent the lab and present results.

  • Assist in preparation of grant proposals to support the research.

ENVIRONMENTAL/OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES:

Frequently required to use personal protective equipment to prevent exposure to hazardous materials.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, Bioinformatics or a related field.

  • Publication record demonstrating experience with molecular dynamics simulations.

  • Fluency in a programming language commonly used to process molecular dynamics simulation trajectories and related numerical data, e.g. Tcl, Python, R, MATLAB.

  • Experience with Linux and high-performance computing environments.

  • Excellent written and oral English communications skills.

  • Ability to work independently and contribute to a collaborative team environment.

  • Willingness to train and mentor undergraduate and graduate students.
