*Theme: *We are developing state of the art method to predict protein
features, including membrane protein topology, protein structure and
protein model quality. In addition we have a general interest in protein
evolution.

*Location: *We are located at Science for Life Laboratory, Stockholm Sweden.

*Group: *Friendly environment with significant freedom.

*Positions: *Tax Free postdoc scholarships for two years, medical insurance
etc.

*Contact: *arne at bioinfo.se

*Position 1: *Deep learning in protein bioinformatics.

We apply modern machine learning methods for various protein structure
prediction problems.

*Position 2: *Ab-Initio Structure Prediction using PconsC3.

We have recently developed an ab-initio method to predict the structure of
more than 2000 Pfam families. Here we will both improve this method and use
it to gain biological insights in these proteins.

*Position 3: *Evolution of transporters and channels.

We are studying the evolution of protein transporters and channels both to
understand their function and predict their structures. Here, we are
closely collaborating with experimental colleagues.
