Post-doc Multi-scale modeling and design of Aptamers (Job Ref. CNI.APT)

The Center for Nanotechnology Innovation, IIT@NEST in Pisa (Italy) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellow in the area of "Multi-scale modeling and design of Aptamers".

We are seeking a highly motivated and dedicated scientist to carry out a research project on molecular modeling of oligonucleic acid molecules (aptamers) by means of multi-scale simulations. This approach will be applied to optimize kinetics and binding properties of aptamers, and to study the effects of non-natural substitutions. In silico simulations will be performed in close collaboration with experimentalists, in a joint effort to develop novel aptamers as therapeutics and targeting agents.
