Two Positions(Postdoc of Biosimulations and Scientist of Quantum Chem/Phys)

Two positions available: 1) Postdoc of Biosimulations; 2) Postdoc in Quantum Chemistry/Physics
 
Position 1: Postdoc Position of Biosimulations
(Salary is $57K-$60K; duration 2 years; starting from winter of 2023 or early spring of 2024)
 
One Postdoctoral positions of simulations of biomaterials is available from in the winter of 2023 or spring of 2024 in the Department of Chemical Engineering / Biomedical Engineering at the University of South Carolina. This position is for the project about biological systems (proteins, lipids and nucleotides), interfacial electron transfer/redox using multiscale simulations. The appointment will be two years.
 
Required qualifications:
1) Expertise in MD simulations (atomistic and coarse-grained), DPD simulations, DMD simulations, QM/MM, AIMD, cellular simulation, or/and kinetic Monte Carlo.
2) Expertise in the simulations of protein docking, protein-ligand binding, nucleotide-protein interaction, or/and interfacial redox and electron transfer.
3) Good programming skills.
 
Knowledge/Skills/Abilities:
Knowledge in one or more of the following areas: (1) experience with the MD simulation software (such as Gromacs, Lampps, NAMD, Amber or CHARMM); (2) experience in the quantum software (QChem, CP2K, Quantum Expresso or VASP); (2) programming skills in Python, C++, C or Fortran; (4) Ability to work effectively with a multidisciplinary team.
 
Expertise in machine learning or the development of coarse-grained forcefield parameters would be a plus. Experience in handling big data would also be a plus.
 
Interested applicants should first send a CV via email to Dr. Tao Wei's university email (taow@mailbox.sc.edu). In the CV, please detail the manner in which your skills can be applied to the proposed research. The short-listed applicants will be contacted for an online interview. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

Position 2: Research Scientist
A Research Scientist position of Quantum Chemistry and Physics is available from the fall of 2023 at the Howard University in Washington D.C. This position is for the joint project about 2D materials and biosensing using quantum computation and machine learning from Dr. Pratibha Dev in the Department of Physics at Howard University and Dr. Tao Wei at Departments of Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at the University of South Carolina.
 
The appointment is initially for one year and is extendible up to the total of 2.0 years based on the performance of the candidate. The annual salary is $60 K. Remote work is allowed.
 
Required qualifications:
1.   Demonstrates experience and expertise in quantum chemistry and quantum physics.
2.   Demonstrates expertise in QM/MM or/and quantum dynamics simulations.
3.   Ability of programming in one (or more) of the following: C/C++, Fortran and Python
Expertise in Machine learning, Neural Network MD, or Kinetic Monte Carlo would be a plus.
 
Interested applicants should first send a cover letter and a detailed CV via email to Dr. Pratibha Dev (pratibha.dev@howard.edu) and Dr. Tao Wei (taow@mailbox.sc.edu). In the cover letter, please detail the manner in which your skills can be applied to the proposed research. The short-listed applicants will be contacted for an online interview. The candidate should arrange for at least two letters of recommendation to be sent directly to Drs Dev and Wei, when requested.
 
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The position will be started immediately.

Also welcome students to apply for the PhD position in Dr. Wei's group at the BME and CHE departments at U of South Carolina.
