Title: Computational geometry for the determination of biomolecular structures

Subject:
During the last decades, structural biology allowed to incredibly
improve the information on the biological objects, from single
biomolecules to molecular assemblies, and to get a better description
of the physics underlying the interactions between molecules.
Somehow, structural biology can be considered as the description
of the geometric properties of biomolecules, as biomolecular
structures are determined from the measurements of angles and
distances between molecule atoms. These parameter values can
be determined by: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), fluorescence/FRET,
mass spectrometry coupled to cross-linking or analysis of protein
sequence alignment. Up to now, one of the most used method to
optimize the protein conformation given these geometric restraints,
was based on the repeated use of simulated annealing (SA) algorithm,
followed by extensive statistics. As the SA algorithm does not
provide a guarantee of global minimality of the function, and
is quite sensitive to the sparsity and to the lack of redundancy
in the distance restraints, we propose in this PhD thesis to explore the
efficiency of another class of methods, derived from operations research
and computational geometry, where a branch-and-pruning algorithm permits
in principle the full exploration of the whole solution space. This
algorithm already gave promising results on small examples of biomolecules,
and the purpose of the project would be to extend them to real-life
systems including: protein structures determination from NMR
distance restraints, homology models or positioning of protein
domains within molecular assemblies using cross-linking restraints.
The PhD thesis will be realized in the frame of a collaboration between the
Unit? de Bioinformatique Structurale (CNRS/Institut Pasteur, France) and
the Department of Applied Mathematics (University of Campinas, Brazil).

Required skills
Knowledge of the basic features of the protein structure
Knowledge of algorithmics
Knowledge of at least one programming language among: C++, python

Will to work in an inter-disciplinary team with interactions
with biologists and applied mathematicians

Required level:
Master in bioinformatics including courses on structural bioinformatics,
computer science or applied mathematics

Working language: english, french

PhD Position at RWTH Aachen (Germany)
Position of Research Assistant
Project: Complex Simulation Systems for Decision Support

Our Profile:
The new research group Advanced Analytics is part of the Research Area
Operations Research and Management at the School of Business and Economics.
We aim to combine methods of data analytics, simulation and optimization to
support decisions under uncertainty and complexity.

Your Profile:
* We expect applicants to have a degree (master or equivalent) in business
information systems, engineering sciences, computer sciences, or applied
mathematics.
* The candidate should be fluent in English and - ideally - German.
Candidates that apply for this position shall meet the following criteria
* Previous experience with simulation modelling, especially discrete
event-based simulations, stochastic simulations, multi-agent simulations.
* Some expertise in object-oriented programming.
* Acquaintance with concepts of data mining and operations research in
general and revenue management in particular.
* Awareness of emerging trends and developments in relevant technology.
* Capability of highly original work together with an enquiring mind with
well-developed analytical and investigative skills.
* Good written and oral communication skills, ability to promote ideas by
logical argument and capable of presenting the results of a project in a
clear and effective manner.
* Sound time and resource management skills.
* Self-motivated, with the drive and initiative to carry out projects
according to plan.
* Enjoyment in working and communicating as part of a team.

Your Duties:
You will be part of a new research group and are therefore expected to
contribute to the building and establishment of the team both in
organizational and functional terms. As we are in the course of establishing
an interdisciplinary Business Analytics Lab, your input to this effort will
be welcome, too.
* You will be working in a research project combining methods of data
analysis and simulation modeling to further research on the validation and
calibration of complex simulation systems for decision support.
* This position comes with a teaching load of 2 hours per week.

The position is for a fixed term of 2 years and is to be filled as soon as
possible. An extension up to a year will be considered at a later date. This
is a full-time position. It is also available as part-time employment per
request.
* The successful candidate has the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree.
* The salary is based on the German public service salary scale (TV-L).

RWTH Aachen University is certified as a "Family-Friendly University". We
particularly welcome and encourage applications from women, disabled persons
and ethnic minority groups, recognizing they are underrepresented across
RWTH Aachen University. The principles of fair and open competition apply
and appointments will be made on merit.
