relate
to the core project of ICQMS: the development of codes for
automatic quantum
refinement of protein crystallographic structures. For these
positions, previous experience at
the PhD or post-doctoral level in the simulation of protein
structure is essential. This could involve mastering of
quantum-chemical software, molecular dynamics methods,
statistical mechanics
theories, or protein structure refinement.
Positions are available for both software users and methods
developers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

view,
considering the determination of protein function and
spectroscopy, especially
for photosynthetic proteins, understanding the effects of
solvation and
environment on molecular properties, quantum dynamics and
coherence in
proteins, understanding order/disorder transitions, the
fundamental role played
by entropy in controlling protein structure, the properties of
biomaterials
such as cement, general self-assembly processes such as organic
self-assembled
monolayer formation and properties, and the properties of bulk
materials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
