Professor Jianing Li is seeking several postdoctoral researchers in her new laboratory in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology (MCMP) at Purdue University. The Li research group is working on the innovation of multiscale modeling to discover new medicines and soft materials. Current projects include computer-aided drug discovery (i.e., small molecules, peptide drugs, and nucleic acid therapeutics) and highly coarse-grained force field development.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry and related fields. Desirable skills include a good understanding of molecular structures and force fields, molecular dynamics simulations, basic programming skills, solid doctoral publication record, good verbal and written communication skills, and an ability to work effectively in a teamwork environment with collaborators from different disciplines. Prior experience with machine learning will be a plus. Salary will be commensurate with experiences.
Applications should be sent by email to jianing-li@purdue.edu. Each application should include CV, representative publications, the names of three referees, a cover letter detailing their qualification for this position and what they would contribute to the laboratory.
