Postdoctoral Position: Multiscale Simulations of RNA-Driven Condensates

A two-year postdoctoral position is available at the Centre de Biologie Structurale (CBS) in Montpellier, France, to develop and apply multiscale molecular simulations for investigating RNA-driven condensate formation and organization in cells. The project combines atomistic and coarse-grained modeling to uncover the physical principles of RNA phase separation and explore their potential for synthetic biology applications.

Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire

CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire) is an organization devoted to the promotion of fundamental research on advanced computational methods and to their application to important problems in frontier areas of science and technology. As the name suggests, the traditional focus of CECAM has been atomistic and molecular simulations, applied to the physics and chemistry of condensed matter. Over the last twenty years, powerful advances in computer hardware and software have supported the extension of these methods to a wide range of problems in materials science, biology and medicinal chemistry.

Other activities

Mixed-Gen

A series of on-line talks and poster sessions on advanced topics in simulation and modelling and their applications for simulators young in years or at heart.

Webinars

CECAM Lectures

In April 2015, CECAM initiated a series of lectures to highlight interesting developments in different areas of computational science.

CECAM-MARVEL Classics

In this lecture series, we take a different look at fundamental developments of simulation and modeling. Milestone conceptual steps, methods and algorithms are presented by their originators.

Mary Ann Mansigh Conversation Series

The Mary Ann Mansigh Conversation series focuses of non-strictly technical topics of cultural interest for the simulation and modelling community. The format reflects the informative and informal nature of these sessions, with talks introducing the subject followed by a conversation between the speakers and the audience.
