Dear ,

I would like to post of job opening on the BCC list, the text is as follows:


Structural Bioinformatician (M/F) - POSTDOC student position - 3 years


Within the 3D structure-function group, part of the department of Biochemistry at the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM, Maastricht University), Main research Area I (Thrombosis and Haemostasis) there is a position for a Postdoc (m/f). The research group focuses on the implementation of structural bioinformatics techniques within the research infrastructure of the cardiovascular research that is currently being performed. Main topics of the group include protein modeling, molecular dynamics simulations, protein-protein docking, docking of small molecules (virtual ligand screening) and peptides onto relevant targets. The current project concerns the in silico drug design, using both small molecules and peptides and is performed under the supervision of Dr. Gerry Nicolaes in collaboration with other principal investigators.

The group of Dr. Nicolaes has a main focus on the structure-function study of proteins, involved in thrombosis, bleeding, inflammation or atherosclerosis and provides an active input in other research areas within CARIM.
Within our group we have a vacancy for an enthusiastic Postdoc (m/f). Suitable candidates should have a background in the biological, biochemical, pharmaceutical or medical sciences with a strong track record in structural bioinformatics and will be experienced in the use of molecular modeling packages, docking approaches and virtual ligand screening. The postdoc will be stationed at the Biochemistry department, which is composed of ~60 people, staff and students. Ability to speak, write and understand English fluently is a prerequisite and ability to speak Dutch will be considered an advantage.
You will be responsible for the generation, processing, analysis and storage of data generated and drive the development of new approaches to the common research objectives. You are a team player, with good social skills working in collaboration with Dr. Nicolaes as well as with 3 PhD students. Our group has a close collaboration with the group of Dr. B. Villoutreix (INSERM U648, Paris, France) in the field of structural bioinformatics as well as with that of Prof. Vriend (CMBI, Nijmegen, the Netherlands).
Salary will be according to standard Netherlands University Grades (depending on skills and experience); a moving allowance will be provided up to a maximum.
An evaluation will be made after 1 year and upon positive outcome of the evaluation, the position may be extended for another 2 years.
Maastricht is the most Bourgundic city in the Netherlands, being situated in a so-called Euregio with distances to Liège (French speaking part of Belgium) of 25 km and Aachen (Germany) of 35 km and good connections to the Thalys train.
You may send a CV, with the names and addresses of two referees and a covering letter to Dr. G. Nicolaes, Department of Biochemistry, Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht, Universiteitssingel 50, 6229 ER, Maastricht, the Netherlands. Tel: +31-43-3881688
For further information on the research topic contact Dr. G.A.F. Nicolaes
