Postdoctoral Positions in Algorithmic Cheminformatics

Several two-year postdoc positions starting 1 July 2020 are available at 
the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) for research on an exciting 
project in algorithmic cheminformatics supported by the Novo Nordisk 
Foundation: “From Category Theory to Enzyme Design - Unleashing the 
Potential of Computational Systems Chemistry 
(https://cheminf.imada.sdu.dk/novo-synergy/). We are seeking highly 
motivated individuals with a PhD in computer science, computational 
chemistry/biochemistry, or related areas. The ideal candidate has 
familiarity with several of the following areas: concurrency theory, 
graph transformation, algorithmics, algorithm engineering, systems 
chemistry, systems biology, metabolic engineering, or enzyme design. 
Solid competences in programming and ease with formal thinking are 
prerequisites.

The project is based on the novel application of formalisms, algorithms, 
and computational methods from computer science to questions in systems 
biology and systems chemistry. We aim to expand these methods and their 
formal foundations, create efficient algorithms and implementations of 
them, and use these implementations for research in understanding the 
catalytic chemistry of enzymes.

The Algorithmic Cheminformatics group at the Department of Mathematics 
and Computer Science at SDU offers a dynamic research environment, 
comprising two full professors, an assistant professor, and several 
students. The project includes partnerships with Harvard Medical School 
(Department of Systems Biology) and the University of Vienna (Institute 
for Theoretical Chemistry), who will host the postdoctoral researcher 
for extended visits.

The research group is located at the main campus of SDU, which is 
located in Odense, the third largest town in Denmark, 1:20 hours by 
train west of Copenhagen. Denmark is known for its high standards of 
living, free health care, and competitive salaries. Applicants from 
outside Denmark are eligible for substantial tax reductions.

Application deadline:

    20 March 2020.
