Chem- and Bioinformatics graduate and postdoctoral positions

Chem- and Bioinformatics positions are available in the group of Dr. Artem Cherkasov, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.

Several PhD and postdoctoral positions are available that will be focused on ligand- and structure based design of anti-cancer drug prototypes.

The ideal candidates should have a strong background in bioinformatics, computational chemistry (or related) and should be familiar with protein structure prediction, protein interaction analysis, virtual screening and ligand-based modeling.

Familiarity with MD simulations and cheminformatics will be a plus. Previous experience with molecular modeling packages (Sybil, MOE, Glide, ICM, Gold) will be considered as beneficial. Strong programming and database managing skills are desirable.

The work will be conducted in world-class multidisciplinary group, in close collaboration with established experimental labs. The access to large-scale computing facilities and modern drug design packages will be provided.
The compensation packages are competitive and further negotiable.

Interested candidates should email a complete CV with a list of publication to
