PhD Position Max Planck Institute for biophysical Chemistry
April 10, 2008
A PhD student position in the computational biomolecular dynamics group at the Max Planck Institute for biophysical Chemistry in Goettingen, Germany is available to start immediately.
The project is part of the EU-wide ‘EDICT’ network that brings together the top european membrane protein structural biologists. The project will address the following goals using molecular dynamics simulations and related computational techniques:
- the development of accurate and efficient simulation techniques for the affinity prediction of putative blockers to membrane channels;
- the computational design of small molecule inhibitors of aquaporins and aquaglyceroporins;
The computational work will be carried out in close collaboration with experimental groups that carry out organic synthesis of candidate compounds, that test the activity of designed compounds in in vitro assays, and optionally structurally characterize channel-inhibitor complexes.
The successful candidate should have a degree in physics or chemistry, should have basic knowledge of structural biology and should have a strong interest in computational biophysics. Payment will be according to the German TVöD standard.

By now I am working as a lecturer in one of Ethiopian universities,Debre Markos University. I have recieved my M.Sc. degree in physical chemistry from Addis Ababa University by the year 2007. I like to make further study on physical chemistry (for PhD level). please would you imform me how to get Free scholarship for PhD degree?
Thank you in advance.

Dear Sir,
Take my salam. Sir, I am a fresh M.S. holder in Material Chemistry. I have conducted research in B.Sc. (Hons) on “Water analysis and development of water purification plant” and in M.S.on “Synthesis and Characterization of Platinum and Palladium Complexes of Ferrocene and derivatives of Ferrocene and study on their Application ”.I have good theoretical concept on material chemistry. The position in my class in B.Sc. (Hons) is third and in M.S. is First. I am a student of developing country (Bangladesh). I have enough interest to continue my research in Inorganic material chemistry with your research group. If there is any scope you will try for me to continue my research in this field. If I don’t get any scope as a student of developing country, it would be impossible to continue my research. It is my earnest request to you that you will best try for me to continue my research.
I wish your best success and good health.
Best regard
