The position (for one year renewable up to 3 years) will be available to work on the
statistical mechanics of structurally disordered proteins. The research will be mostly
computational and theoretical, with potential collaborations with experimentalists in
statistical mechanics of structurally disordered proteins. The research will be mostly
computational and theoretical, with potential collaborations with experimentalists in
synthetic biology. The research project aims to characterize the physics of
intrinsically disordered proteins, and clarify the role of structurally disordered regions
in protein binding. The successful candidate will be in charge of carrying out
molecular dynamics’ simulations and of extracting biological information from
public databases via large-scale analyses and machine learning approaches.
This combined information will be then used to propose theoretical models for
intrinsically disordered proteins.
