[SocBiN] Postdoctoral Positions in Algorithmic Cheminformatics

[Daniel Merkle]

Several two-year postdoc positions starting 1 July 2020 are available
at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) for research on an
exciting project in algorithmic cheminformatics supported by the Novo
Nordisk Foundation: “From Category Theory to Enzyme Design –
Unleashing the Potential of Computational Systems Chemistry”. We are
seeking highly motivated individuals with a PhD in computer science,
computational chemistry/biochemistry, or related areas. The ideal
candidate has familiarity with several of the following areas:
concurrency theory, graph transformation, algorithmics, algorithm
engineering, systems chemistry, systems biology, metabolic
engineering, or enzyme design. Solid competences in programming and
ease with formal thinking are prerequisites.


The project is based on the novel application of formalisms,
algorithms, and computational methods from computer science to
questions in systems biology and systems chemistry. We aim to expand
these methods and their formal foundations, create efficient
algorithms and implementations of them, and use these implementations
for research in understanding the catalytic chemistry of enzymes.


The Algorithmic Cheminformatics group at the Department of Mathematics
and Computer Science at SDU offers a dynamic research environment,
comprising two full professors, an assistant professor, and several
students. The project includes partnerships with Harvard Medical
School (Department of Systems Biology) and the University of Vienna
(Institute for Theoretical Chemistry), who will host the postdoctoral
researcher for extended visits.


Deadline: 20 March 2020.
