[DMANET] PhD position (Computer Science, Physics, Biology) @ TU Darmstadt

The Computational Biology and Simulation group invites applications for
a research assistant/Ph.D. Student Position - 50 % for a first term of
three (3) years.

The Computational Biology and Simulation group focus on computational
methods for the simulation of biophysical/biological phenomena. Main
topics are

• methods of statistical physics, entropy related concepts, and
information theory
• molecular simulations(MD),coarse-graining, and structural modeling
• simulations of metabolic and other intracellular networks based on
stochastic differential equations
• and algorithm development in the above areas more

Details can be found on our homepage http://www.kay-hamacher.de

Ideally, you have a background in one or more of the above mentioned
areas (physics, computer science, bioinformatics, mathematics, biology).
It is expected from the successful application to support the teaching
of B.Sc. and M.Sc. courses.

The scope and field of the Ph.D. research is to be discussed, but the
Ph.D. program can be chosen from the departments of physics, computer
science, or biology.

The Technische Universität Darmstadt intends to increase the number of
female faculty members and encourages female candidates to apply. In
case of equal qualifications applicants with a degree of disability of
at least 50 or equal will be given preference. Wages and salaries are
according to the collective agreements on salary scales, which apply to
the Technische Universität Darmstadt (TV-TU Darmstadt).

Please address your applications to Prof. Dr. Kay Hamacher, TU
Darmstadt, Schnittspahnstr. 10, 64287 Darmstadt, or via email (only pdf
format acceptable) to bewerbungtud277@gmail.com

For those who want to send their application confidentially,
gpg-encrypted emails are recommend. Kay Hamacher's GPG-Key is available
