Structural Studies of Muscle Regulatory Proteins in Health and Disease
A Postdoctoral Research Fellow is sought to carry out Molecular Dynamics simulations of troponin and tropomyosin on actin filament complexes associated with cardiac and skeletal muscle thin filaments. The objective is to investigate the molecular mechanisms of regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction, and, in particular, the structural underpinnings of mutations leading to skeletal muscle disease and cardiomyopathies.
Applicants must have several years of experience in carrying out molecular dynamics simulations of complex macromolecular systems and first-rate facility with Linux operating systems, Matlab software and macromolecular visualization programs. A strong background in Physical Chemistry and Protein Biochemistry is also required. Experience in supervising graduate students and postdoctoral fellows would also be important.
Interested applicants should send their CV with three references to:

The Difference Is Our DNA
What compelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to award Boston University a grant to fight newborn mortality in Zambia? Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. adopt BU as a place where he could hone his message of justice and equality? And what is the catalyst that prompts 32,557 students from 135 countries to call BU their home every semester? It’s in our DNA: an inherent desire in each of our students, faculty, and staff to vigorously and dauntlessly pursue knowledge—and embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with it.
A Community Unlike Any Other
As you can see below, it takes people, ideas, and a little luck (Boston, you’re our town) to make BU what it is today: one of the most dynamic universities in the world.
Celebrated thinkers: On any given day, students will find themselves mesmerized by Nobel Prize winners, a poet laureate, and the first biomedical engineer ever to receive a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award,” among others.
Extraordinary teaching: When a classroom starts to percolate with new ideas, it’s because our faculty of scholars and accomplished practitioners know how to ignite students’ imaginations. That’s why we reward our best teachers with BU’s most prestigious honor: The Metcalf Cup and Prize.
Groundbreaking research: With faculty dedicated to a creative, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, BU has become a leading global research institution—propelled forward by over $350 million a year in sponsored program revenue.
World-class students: Elite students from all 50 states and 135 countries pursue higher education on BU campuses in Boston and at programs in L.A., D.C., and more than 30 other cities on six continents.
A city within a city: Today, 80% of our undergrads live on campus, which could explain the 525 student activity groups alone.
The greatest college town in the world: Boston. ’Nuff said.
