Sumário

The hired researcher will conduct research in the field of computational biochemistry creating synergies with biological chemistry, biophysics, structural biology, and molecular biology, forging interdisciplinary approaches to unravel molecular complexities. The hired researcher should have a background in Biochemistry or related areas with a strong expertise in computational methods applied to biological and biochemical system. Such profile will cover the needs of the host institution (BioISI/DQB) in creating synergies between the fields of drug design and development, study of protein/protein and protein/membrane interactions and predicting protein structure/folding. This profile will allow the establishment of collaborations network with the various experimental groups inside and outside the department.Applicants are expected to be fully engaged in all the activities and duties associated with the position, including: (1) Conduct innovative, high-impact, internationally recognized research in computational biochemistry aligned with the above described goals; (2) Interact and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across campus to advance programs from early discovery to applied outputs; (3) Apply to competitive calls at the national/international level for securing external funding; (4) Publish research findings in leading scientific journals; (5) Perform advanced training, supervision and mentoring of graduate students; (6) Take active part in outreach activities.This profile will thus strengthen the computational biochemistry component at both BioISI and DQB.
