Job description The Sars-Covid virus genomic RNA encodes a small number of structural proteins, one of which is the N-protein. This N-protein plays a strong role in packaging the genomic RNA; yet, how this packaging process works and how the N-protein manages to selectively pack genomic RNA is not well-understood. We will study this selective packaging theoretically, in tight collaboration with experimental groups. The theoretical methods include stochastic modelling, MD simulation, and Bayesian inference; the position will also include joint collaborative projects with other group members and our experimental colleagues. A desire to develop the direction of your project is very welcome! Job requirements Masters in Physics, Computer Science, Nanobiology, Mathematics, Bioengineering or a related discipline PhD in Physics, Applied Science, or a related discipline Experience in statistical physics, stochastic processes and/or data analysis methods Strong interest in engaging and collaborating with experimental colleagues TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) Working at TU Delft means contributing to solutions that really make a difference. For over 180 years, we have been training engineers who make an impact worldwide in companies, government bodies, or as entrepreneurs. Our alumni turn knowledge into concrete solutions for the challenges of today and tomorrow. These challenges are changing rapidly. That is why we focus on themes such as energy, climate, digitalisation, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart mobility every day. Our education and research are directly aligned with what society needs now and in the future. At TU Delft, our people make the difference.
