Aston University
School of Engineering and Applied Science PhD Studentship (3 years)

Using next generation computers and algorithms for modelling the  
dynamics of large biomolecular systems

Applications are invited for a three year PhD studentship, supported  
by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to  
be undertaken within the Non-linearity and Complexity Research Group  
at Aston University.  The successful applicant will join an  
established theoretical group working on the theory and implementation  
of molecular dynamics simulations. The studentship is offered as a  
part of a Consortium consisting of 5 research groups (Aston  
University, Cambridge University, RIKEN Advanced Institute for  
Computational Science, Japan, Moscow Institute of Nuclear Safety,  
University of Osaka) and funded by the G8 Research Councils Initiative  
on Multilateral Research.

The position is available to start in July 2011 (subject to negotiation)

Financial Support

Will be provided to Home/EU students (subject to eligibility) at the  
standard EPSRC rate (£13,590 for 2010/11) with the corresponding  
standard EPSRC increases in subsequent years.

Background of the Project

The project is devoted to the theory of high performance molecular  
dynamics simulations and their application to large scale protein  
systems.  The emphasis of this research will be on developing an  
algorithm for hybrid MD – hydrodynamics simulations and its  
application to a large scale biomolecular process such as  
ligand-protein binding. The work will be done in close collaboration  
with the Department of Engineering, Cambridge University, with whom  
you will have daily contact. Testing and implementation will be using  
the fastest computer in the world at RIKEN Advanced Institute for  
Computational Science, Kobe, Japan.
