COMPUTER GRAPHICS LABORATORY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO, seeks a postdoctoral research scientist with background in physics and/or applied mathematics combined with an interest in applications to biomolecular structures and interactions. The Computer Graphics Laboratory has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, Division of Research Resources for over twenty years and more recently is part of a DARPA URI grant to develop a Macromolecular Workbench. The lab is superbly equipped with UNIX-based networked facilities which include several levels of Silicon Graphics 3D displays, SUNs, NeXTs, VAXen and MIPS RC6280, with easy access to still more powerful machines. In spite of the name of the lab, I am looking for someone with a broad background in applicable mathematics, not to work on computer graphics, but on the application of neural nets to protein structure prediction (see Kneller, Cohen and Langridge J.Mol.Biol. 214, 171-182, 1990), on-line computation of the energetics of macromolecular interactions (see Pattabiraman, Levitt, Ferrin and Langridge J.Comp.Chem 6, 432-436, 1985) and to collaborate on new lines of investigation. My group includes individuals with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, molecular biology, electrical engineering and computer science. The appointment would be at the UC postdoctoral level, with annual salary depending on experience, but beginning at about $25K for a new PhD.
