Description:

A DARPA-funded postdoctoral position is available under the supervision of Professor Jeffrey Gray in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. The position is expected to start as early as May 2010. The selected candidate is expected to have a Ph.D. in chemical engineering, biophysics, bioengineering, or similar fields with expertise in molecular modeling and protein biophysics. The goal of the project is to predict high-resolution structures of antibodies of sufficient quality to enable computational design using non-canonical amino acids to improve binding affinity and specificity. The project is part of a multi-institution collaboration with the University of Texas at Austin and the University of North Carolina.

Excellent oral and written communication skills are required, and publication of scientific results in peer-reviewed journals is expected. The candidate must work with a high degree of independence and be goal-oriented, and he or she must have the ability to work in a team and interact effectively with a broad range of colleagues. Creativity in research is highly valued.
