Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions to develop computational approaches to study (1) the phenomena of liquid-liquid phase separation of heterogenous mixtures of nucleic acids and proteins occurring inside the Cell nucleus and (2) the organization of chromatin with subnucleosome resolution inside megabase scale domains.

The successful candidates will join the research group of Dr. Rosana Collepardo (collepardolab.org) based at the Maxwell Centre, Cavendish laboratory. The project is in collaboration with Professor Daan Frenkel at the Department of Chemistry and Professor Ernest Laue at the Department of Biochemistry.

The successful candidate will have strong experience in molecular modelling and simulations and statistical mechanics and will hold a PhD/DPhil in physics, chemistry, quantitative biology, applied mathematics, or a closely related field, with a strong interest in biological systems. There is a special interest in applicants with extensive expertise in large scale simulations using LAMMPS.
