A postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the area of 
computational structural biology at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona.  General 
research interests of the lab include algorithm development for 
biomolecular modeling, peptide and protein docking, and machine learning 
in structural bioinformatics.  Current projects involve using molecular 
mechanics docking simulations to predict peptide-MHC binding affinities 
and transmembrane helix interactions in membrane proteins.  More 
information is available at http://www.bordnerlab.org

The ideal candidate will have received a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, or 
Biophysics and have a strong publication record.  Required skills include 
experience in biomolecular simulations, familiarity with Unix/Linux, and 
programming in a scripting language (Python or Perl).  Other desirable 
skills are: homology modeling, machine learning, and C++ programming.  
Opportunities exist for interactions with researchers at other Mayo Clinic 
campuses and Arizona State University.  Exceptional candidates from other 
backgrounds who have biomolecular modeling experience will also be 
considered.

Applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae including 
publications, and contact information for three references by e-mail to:
