Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct research into the possibilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. Work together with around 7,400 employees in one of Europe's biggest research centers and help us to shape change!
The Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine – Computational Biomedicine (INM-9) at Forschungszentrum Jülich – www.fz-juelich.de/en/inm/inm-9 – uses and develops high-performance computing-based multiscale approaches to investigate key molecular events for neuronal function and dysfunction. INM-9 is also part of relevant European initiatives like the joint doctorate program STIMULATE – stimulate-ejd.eu/ – and the Center of Excellence BioExcel – bioexcel.eu/ – to support the use of high-performance computing and high-throughput computing in biomolecular research. With the advent of exascale HPC platforms in few years, multiscale simulations, such as quantum mechanical / molecular mechanics (QM / MM) simulations, will be able to describe a large variety of biological processes at high accuracy. The successful candidate for this PhD position will apply a novel, massively parallel QM / MM approach, developed in collaboration with a European consortium (Bolnykh et al., JCTC, 2019), to investigate the function of ion channels in membrane protein systems.
