Job Description:
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) to join our dynamic and diverse research group. We focus on protein bioinformatics. We use computational approaches to generate predictive models and interpret data related to proteins and protein-ligand/drug interactions. The PDF will focus on the development, benchmarking and applications of computational methods for characterization of functions of proteins from their sequence (prediction and clustering) and on the development of novel databases and webservers (database/webserver design and deployment).

We also invite applicants for PhD studies.

These are fully-funded positions. Visit our website at http://biomine.cs.vcu.edu/ to learn more details. Our group includes several dynamic, collaborative and highly skilled individuals. We hope that you will consider to join our team!
