Computational method and software development in X-ray sciences. *Ongoing activities and research collaborations include, Developing open source programs for X-ray scattering data analysis and model reconstruction/refinement Method and software development for High-resolution structure determination using data collected at X-ray free electron lasers, including single particle scattering and serial crystallography data analysis Integration of molecular dynamics simulation and time-resolved X-ray scattering/diffraction data to reconstruct conformational transformations for large molecules. *2. Computational modeling and simulation of protein systems. **Ongoing projects include* *Simulation of GPCR proteins, prediction of ligand binding and stability* *Investigation of nucleosome dynamics and packing, and the effect of post-translation modification to the histone tails* *3. Image analysis method and software development* *Main task is to do image classification, 3D object reconstruction from 2D images, 3D shape retrieval etc.* *Successful applicants are expected to spend a few months each year at Arizona State University, department of Physics in our collaboration with the NSF Science and Technology Center for applications of X-ray lasers to Biology.* *There are also opportunities for joint appointment with Universities in Hong Kong for outstanding applicants.* *Qualifications**: Ideal candidates should have strong interest in interdisciplinary research and be highly motivated to interact with experimental groups. He/she should possess a PhD degree in physics, biology, or a related theoretical discipline, with a solid background in quantitative modeling and simulations. Independent problem-solving and creative thinking skills are highly valued.* *The Beijing Computational Science Research Center (CSRC) (* *http://www.csrc.ac.cn* *) is an interdisciplinary research center open to national and international collaborative initiatives, equipped with advanced HPC machines.* *CSRC offers competitive salaries and benefits, and excellent research environments. Successful applicants will work closely with current lab members. CSRC encourages and sponsors young researchers to apply for his/her own research funding if necessary. Interested applicants please send a full CV, a brief summary or statement of research, and two to three reference letters by email to Dr. Haiguang Liu at**hgliu%csrc.ac.cn* *.* Haiguang Liu Assistant Professor http://www.csrc.ac.cn/~HaiguangLiu _______________________________________________ sa_scat mailing list sa_scat@iucr.org http://mailman.iucr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sa_scat
