Research Associate in Computational Enzymology

The role

This position is to carry out research in molecular simulation and multiscale modelling of enzymes and their reactions, including using new methods that are being developed to use machine-learned potentials. You will collaborate with the main method developer and a software engineer. You will be based in the group of Marc van der Kamp, and benefit from the collaborative research environment in Bristol, including interactions with other experts in biomolecular simulation in Bristol.

What will you be doing?

You will perform and analyse simulations of enzymes and their reactions, with the aim to 1) demonstrate the use of newly developed methods for efficient reaction simulations and 2) investigate catalysis by enzymes of interest as biocatalysts. You will liaise with collaborators and work towards scientific publications.

The School aims to attract a diverse range of applicants from a broad range of backgrounds.  We are committed to building an inclusive working environment where all colleagues can thrive and reach their full potential.

You should apply if

You have extensive research experience in biomolecular simulation, knowledge of Python or similar, and are interested in applying new methods to simulate enzymes and their reactions in atomic detail.
