A postdoctoral position is available in the group "Biomolecular Interactions" (see http://olivier-walker.univ-lyon1.fr ) in Lyon (France) to work on the computational aspect of protein/peptide and protein/protein interactions with a narrow connection with biophysiscal methods like NMR and/or SAXS, SANS. The "Biomolecular interactions" group makes use of biochemistry, NMR and computational methods to explore biomolecular interactions.

The successful candidate should hold a PhD in Physics or biophysics and must have a high-quality expertise in standard and advanced computational methods. He/She will be involved in combining experimental methods with advanced molecular dynamics sampling methods in the context of biomolecular interactions to better understand molecular recognition. To this end, skills in physics and informatics with knowledge in some programing languages are crucial as well as knowledge with some molecular dynamics packages and statistical physics.
A contract of one year and financed by the French research agency is available starting November 1st, 2015 and possibly extended to four years, depending on circumstances. Motivated candidates should contact Dr. Olivier WALKER (olivier.walker@univ-lyon1.fr) and provide a CV, a list of publications and reference letters before July 10th.

Location: Lyon is the 3rd most populated city of France (http://www.en.lyon-france.com/Discover-Lyon).
