The "MOlecular NAnoscience for LIfe Science Applications" (MONALISA) group at the University of Udine, Italy, invites applications for Ph.D. and junior Postdoc positions in computational physics applied to nanomedicine.

The project will primarily involve the use and development of Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo based methods to introduce and develop novel strategies for the design and optimisation of biosensors. The ideal candidate is expected to have a strong motivation in applying those computational techniques to problems of medical interest, while their prior knowledge is preferable but not mandatory. A Master Degree in Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Biology, or Medicine are required, as well as the knowledge of a programming and/or scripting language.

The MONALISA group is a highly multidisciplinary group composed by medical doctors, biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers working towards speeding up the development of novel clinical protocols and new diagnostic devices by integrating computational and experimental techniques for the design  of new nanotechnology solutions of problems of medical interest.
