About this position

Postdoc position at Kiel University, Germany in the Chair for Bioinspired Materials and Biosensor Technologies (Prof. Zeynep Altintas), Institute for Materials Science, Faculty of Engineering.

The project focuses on computational design of bioinspired materials, including synthetic receptors, molecularly imprinted polymers, nanocomposites, and functional interfaces. The work combines molecular modeling, molecular dynamics, QM/DFT, and in-house machine learning, with experimental validation.

Typical tasks include molecular modeling of biomolecular recognition, MD simulations of proteins, peptides, and polymers, AI/ML workflows for materials discovery, publications, proposal writing, student supervision, and teaching.

Applicants should hold a PhD in computational chemistry, biology, bioinformatics, materials science, or a related field. Required skills include MD, QM/DFT, docking, free-energy methods, ML/deep learning, HPC, and Python. Experience with GROMACS, AMBER, CHARMM, NAMD, or OpenMM is desirable. A strong publication record and excellent English are expected.

The position is a 3-year full-time contract at TV-L E13. Teaching is in English, habilitation is possible, and supercomputing access plus interdisciplinary collaborations are available.

Deadline: 31 Oct 2026. Start: earliest possible.
