Postdoctoral Fellowship In Molecular Simulations, Machine Learning, And Statistical Mechanics

DESCRIPTION

We are looking for a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral candidate with interests in molecular simulations, machine learning, and statistical mechanics for research opportunities in:

• Development of data-driven schemes for the discovery of slow degrees of freedom
• Molecular simulations of complex mechanisms in large biological objects
• Computational modeling of transition pathways in high-dimensional systems

Prior experience in computer programming, machine learning algorithms, and molecular simulations of biological systems is highly desirable, but not necessary. A strong background in physical sciences, preferentially in physics, and especially in statistical mechanics, is required.
