Small molecules targeting neuronal non-coding RNA at Jülich (Germany)

The Institute of Computational Biomedicine IAS-5/INM-9 at the Jülich Research Center (http://www.fz-juelich.de/ias/ias-5/EN/Home/home_node.html) uses and develops high performance computing-based multiscale simulations to investigate key molecular events for neuronal function and dysfunction.
We are currently searching qualified PhD student with a master in physics, chemistry, applied mathematics or computer science, who will investigate small molecules binding to non-coding RNA for medical applications, especially in the field of neuropathologies. Experience with UNIX-like operating systems and programming along with a good knowledge of the English language are required.
We offer a position in a creative and international environment with the opportunity to work in a unique interdisciplinary team. The project will be carried out in close collaborations with experimental labs. Payment of the PhD fellow will be based on salary grade EG 13 (50%) Collective Agreement for the Civil Service (TVöD).
The Jülich Research Center is one of the largest research centers in Germany, with excellent scientific equipment and leading European computational resources, located on a green campus, and near the cultural centers Köln, Düsseldorf, and Aachen.
The PhD position is available for 3 years.
The Jülich Research Center aims to employ more women in this area and therefore particularly welcomes applications from women. We also welcome applications from disabled persons.
Applications should include CV and the names of at least two people to be contacted as references.
