Applications are open for a Research Position in Computational Modeling or MD simulation of Proteins at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Hyderabad.

Position Title and Description: Postdoctoral or Project Research Scientist in an interdisciplinary collaborative ICMR funded project led by Prof. Monika Vig and a team of scientists. The project involves investigating interactions between ion channels and SNARE family proteins. The ideal candidate will have experience in the computational modelling of proteins, molecular dynamics simulations and chemical library screening in the context of ion channels.

Essential Skillset:

• MD simulation and enhanced sampling approaches
• Computer-aided drug design
• Proficiency in Python, bioinformatics and protein structure predictions using AI/ML tools

1 year, extendable up to three years, with yearly renewal contingent on performance.

INR 67000/- + HRA.

Ph.D. in MD simulations of proteins or computational protein chemistry. A demonstrated experience in atomistic modelling of protein structure with specific examples of related prior projects in the form of publications.

Desirable Skills: Experience with computational modelling of ion-channel structure, function and virtual screening of chemical libraries.

Interested candidates can send their CV, a brief cover letter detailing prior experience, a statement of interest and contact information of 2 – 3 references to computationalrecruit2026@​gmail.​com

Duration: Open until a suitable candidate has been found.
