Hello, GROMACS users! I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join my group here at CU Boulder for a NIH-sponsored collaborative project to develop GROMACS. The researcher will work collaboratively (with researchers in my group, in Peter Kasson’s group at U.Va., as well as the main development team in Stockholm) to improve the robustness and usability of GROMACS as well as implement new Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods. Strong software engineering skills are very beneficial as well as a deep understanding of simulation theory and statistical mechanics. We would also particularly appreciate already active members of the molecular simulation development community. As always, members of groups under-represented in the molecular simulation field are especially encouraged to apply. The official job posting is below, along with the link to the application.
The Shirts research group in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering is hiring a highly capable research associate to help develop the GROMACS molecular simulation package. GROMACS is an open-source project with a strong international development community as well as a 10,000+ user base. This position is part of a new NIH funded collaborative effort between the Shirts group and the Kasson group (at the University of Virginia) to improve the robustness, functionality, and usability of GROMACS, offering the candidate the opportunity to positively affect the work of thousands of researchers across the globe. Candidates will have the opportunity to learn state-of-the-art simulation methodology and work collaboratively with a global team of developers. This position requires a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science or a related field. It requires very strong statistical mechanical, molecular simulation and theoretical skills, as well as significant software engineering experience and ability. Experience in C++ and Python is preferred, as well as experience with version control, code review systems, and team-oriented software development. Competitive candidates will have a track record of scientific success in graduate study with a strong publication record.
