• Jobs Description
Pomalab is looking for 1 Postdoc to be part of a multidisciplinary team working on the molecular biomechanics of SARS-CoV-2, with a particular focus on understanding the interactions between spike (S) protein variants, the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) receptor, and neutralising antibodies (Ab) responsible for immune evasion. The project combines advanced computational modeling and experimental data analysis within a multiscale simulation framework.
The work will employ the Martini 3 coarse-grained (CG) force field for protein modeling, complemented by single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) data to improve and validate the CG models. The researcher will develop CG and AI-assisted methodologies for enhanced sampling of conformational dynamics in protein systems, perform Martini 3 simulations of biomolecular complexes, and contribute to the development of the GōMartini 3 approach for complex molecular systems.
In addition to research activities, the selected candidate will prepare scientific manuscripts, progress reports, and contribute to supervision and mentoring of PhD students. The position offers an opportunity to collaborate with experts in bioengineering, nanomechanics, and computational biophysics, contributing to cutting-edge research at the interface of molecular modeling, structural biology, and biophysical simulation.
