There is a postdoc position open in my group, which uses lots of Julia. The full advert and application link is at [Postdoctoral Scientist - Structural Studies - Dr Joe Greener - LMB 2633 job with MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) | 12840475](https://www.nature.com/naturecareers/job/12840475/postdoctoral-scientist-structural-studies-dr-joe-greener-lmb-2633), closing date 13/07/25.

Postdoctoral Scientist  
Salary £41,344 per annum  
Fixed Term – 3 years  
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK

We are looking for a postdoctoral scientist to join the group of Joe Greener to undertake research in computational protein design. This will involve developing molecular simulation methods to optimise sequences for a variety of design tasks. Ensemble reweighting and alchemical simulation techniques will be used to design proteins; a particular focus is binding flexible regions and antibody design, which are challenging for current machine learning approaches.

You will become an early member of a friendly, multi-disciplinary team. The project will involve significant coding using the Julia package [Molly.jl](https://github.com/JuliaMolSim/Molly.jl) on both CPU and GPU, as well as addressing relevant computational and algorithmic questions. You will become an expert in molecular dynamics methods and relevant protein design techniques. You have a PhD in a relevant subject, or are due to complete within 6 months, and have experience in coding. Previous experience with either protein design, molecular dynamics or machine learning will be an advantage.
