The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is an interdisciplinary research centre of the University of Luxembourg.
We conduct fundamental and translational research in the field of Systems Biology and Biomedicine - in the lab, in the clinic and in silico. We focus on neurodegenerative processes and are especially interested in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and their contributing factors. The LCSB recruits talented scientists from various disciplines: computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists and clinicians from more than 50 countries currently work at the LCSB. We excel because we are truly interdisciplinary, and together we contribute to science and society.

**Your role**:

- Your responsibilities:_
- Perform research at the interface between biophysics, biomedicine, and computer science
- Simulate molecular dynamics of ion channels
- Predict variant-specific protein structures using AlphaFold
- Co-develop machine-learning approaches to incorporate quantum effects in molecular dynamics simulation
- Participate as a team member in discussions for validation approaches
- Become an active memberwithin the Institute of Advanced Science at the University of Luxembourg in which the project is hosted

**Your profile**:

- Master’s degree or equivalent in biophysics, physics, computer science, pharmacology, biomedicine or related fields
- Demonstrated expertise in computational modelling
- Experience with molecular dynamics
- Interest in interdisciplinary science
- Experience in working on High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment and/or in pharmacology is an advantage
- Excellent capacity to work with others in a collaborative environment

**We offer**:

- Multilingual and international character. Modern institution with a personal atmosphere. Staff coming from 90 countries. Member of the “University of the Greater Region” (UniGR)
