Postdoc of Biophysics
University of Copenhagen
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop biophysics‑based strategies for designing protein binders. The project will use computational biology and molecular modelling, based on the physical principles of protein structure, dynamics, and molecular recognition, to create protein binders with well‑defined and experimentally testable interaction properties. The work will be highly collaborative, linking computational design with experimental protein science and drawing on ideas from biophysics, protein engineering, chemistry, computer science, and biotechnology.
The appointment is for a period of one year. The candidate will participate in a larger, cross‑disciplinary project aiming at designing screening pipelines for binders for proteins involved in cell wall synthesis in Gram‑positive bacteria with the aim of combatting antimicrobial resistance. The postdoc will work within a project group spanning three other postdocs, two of whom are experimentalists that will screen and validate the designed binders.
The postdoc’s duties will include research within biophysics and data science as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.
Ideal Candidate- Background in biophysics, computational biology, data science, or related fields.
- Experience with computational design tools for binders such as RFDiffusion, Bind Craft, or Boltz.
- Experience with molecular modelling of protein structures using e.g. molecular dynamics.
- Experience with high‑throughput data‑science and screening methods.
- Programming and scripting skills using e.g. Python or similar.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
Terms of Employment- Position covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.
- Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
- Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
- Appointment period: one year.
- Application must be submitted electronically.
The position is open as soon as possible and the Final date to receive applications is 31 July 2026.
