<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently recruiting for <b>1 fully-funded PhD and 2 postdoc</b> positions within my new research group at Link�ping University
<span lang="EN-GB">in </span>Sweden.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because this is an international board: the PhD position is a 4-year employed position with salary, health<span lang="EN-GB">care</span> coverage, pension, other employment benefits, etc. The starting salary for PhD researchers is 30 500
SEK/month (in 2022). <span lang="EN-GB">The postdoc positions are initially for 2 years, and s</span>alaries for postdocs are negotiated on an individual basis.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>PhD Student in Structural Bioinformatics (Macromolecular Flexibility & Dynamics)</u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking for a PhD student to develop machine learning and data-science approaches to characterise heterogeneous/disordered regions of crystallographic structures from multi-dataset experiments (fragment screening/multi-temperature/time-resolved
experiments), in order to study flexibility and dynamics of these systems. If you have a background in machine learning approaches, and are interested in applying these approaches to biological data, or a background in (computational) structural biology, and
looking to further develop your data-science/programming skills, please get in touch!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In the Data-Driven Determination of Macromolecular Structures (d3ms) group at Link�ping University, we develop data-driven methodologies for determining and analysing macromolecular structures, focussing on structural disorder and dynamics
in the context of biomedical applications. One of our primary focuses is the development of multi-dataset and integrative approaches which take advantage of ever-increasing data-collection capacities in both crystallographic and cryoEM experiments. This subject
area means we use a variety of statistical, data science & machine learning approaches. </p>
