Graduate Students
Interested graduate students are encouraged to apply to the Michigan State University Chemistry and Biochemistry Departments.
Postdoctoral Openings
Openings are available on a rolling basis. Areas of interest include expertise in MD simulations, potential function development, QM methodologies, structure-based drug design and software development.
We currently have openings for the following research areas:
1) Metal ion modeling: Force field design for metal ions. Simulation of metal ion transport, binding and inhibition of metalloproteins. C++/Fortran programming experience helpful for potential function design work.
2) Computational Metabolomics: Design of computational workflows for collisional-cross section and NMR spectroscopy. Incorporation into web servers. Identification of unknown compounds from metabolomics experiments. Collaborative project with experimental metabolomics groups. Workflow based programming (e.g., snakemake) helpful.
3) Quantum chemistry: Development of efficient QM algorithms on GPUs (Quick software). C++/Fortran programming experience a must and experience with GPUs. Projects range from: ERI optimization; NMR chemical shift computation; and creation and application of efficient QM/MM tools.
4) Protein design: Collaborate with experimentalists to design proteins to bind select small molecule drugs and metabolites. Experience with free energy methods and protein design tools a must.
