PhD in Computational Biophysics at the Italian Institute of
Technology, Genoa, Italy: Modeling and Molecular Dynamics simulation
of neuronal proteins<br>
<br>
A 3 years PhD student position is available at the Center for
Synaptic Neuroscience of the Italian Institute of Technology, Genoa,
Italy, starting November 2016.<br>
The project will involve structural modeling and molecular dynamics
simulation of synaptic proteins, in close interaction with
experimentalists. Possible specific topics include modeling
optogenetic probes to modulate neuronal gene transcription,
studying the differential ATP and calcium binding by synapsin
isoforms, or the structural and functional properties of the newly
identified PRRT2 protein. Ideal candidates should have physics
and/or chemistry background and experience in molecular dynamics
simulations.<br>
