Computational Biophysics Research Vermaas and Feig groups

CHARMM is a versatile program for atomic-level simulation of
many-particle systems, particularly macromolecules of
biological interest.

Computational Biophysics Research in the Vermaas and Feig groups

Michigan State University

As part of a newly funded energy frontier research center, the Feig and Vermaas laboratories are seeking computational biophysicists to answer mechanistic questions to permit engineering bacterial microcompartments to do new synthetic chemistry. Specifically, the Vermaas laboratory is seeking a computational chemist or biophysicist postdoctoral research associate to characterize permeation across bacterial microcompartment proteins for small organic molecules through equilibrium and non-equilibrium classical molecular dynamics simulations in the Vermaas laboratory.

In the Feig lab, a postdoctoral research associate is sought to study crowding, confinement, and assembly questions related to bacterial microcompartments via computational modeling and simulation.
