biotechnology within the unit of the "Biology and Biotechnology"
of the RWTH (ABBt). A focus of the ABBt is on biobased molecules
and materials which is to be strengthened with this position.
Therefore, a recognized expertise in the development and
use of mathematical models and computer aided simulation
techniques is necessary. This is to be applied in translational
research to predict the behavior of biological molecules and
systems in complex environments especially at the surface of
materials. Experience with e.g. QM/MM, atomic and mesoscopic
simulations, as well as tapping into public databases is advantageous.
The prospective candidate will participate in the
teaching of B.Sc. and M.Sc. programes in biology and biotechnology.
It is expected that the prospective candidate will collaborate
with or even participate in running activities such as the
collaborative research center "Microgels", the international research
training group "Seleca" and in projects of the Bioeconomy
Science Center (BioSC). In addition it is expected that
strong collaborations will be built with the Leibniz Institute DWI,
the department for chemistry, the Fraunhofer institute IME, the
Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Heinrich Heine University in
Düsseldorf.
A Ph.D. degree is required; additionally, Habilitation (post-doctoral
lecturing qualification), an exemplary record of research
achievement as an assistant / an associate / a junior professor
or university researcher and/or an outstanding career outside
academia are highly desirable. Ability in and commitment to
