The COMPUTER GRAPHICS LABORATORY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO, 
seeks a postdoctoral research scientist with background in physics and/or 
applied mathematics combined with an interest in applications to 
biomolecular structures and interactions. The Computer Graphics Laboratory 
has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, Division of 
Research Resources for over twenty years and more recently is part of a 
DARPA URI grant to develop a Macromolecular Workbench. The lab is superbly 
equipped with UNIX-based networked facilities which include several levels 
of Silicon Graphics 3D displays, SUNs, NeXTs, VAXen and MIPS RC6280, with 
easy access to still more powerful machines.

In spite of the name of the lab, I am looking for someone with a broad 
background in applicable mathematics, not to work on computer graphics, 
but on the application of neural nets to protein structure prediction 
(see Kneller, Cohen and Langridge J.Mol.Biol. 214, 171-182, 1990), 
on-line computation of the energetics of macromolecular interactions 
(see Pattabiraman, Levitt, Ferrin and Langridge J.Comp.Chem 6, 432-436, 
1985) and to collaborate on new lines of investigation.

My group includes individuals with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, 
molecular biology, electrical engineering and computer science.  The 
appointment would be at the UC postdoctoral level, with annual salary 
depending on experience, but beginning at about $25K for a new PhD.
