The Open Force Field Consortium (OpenFF, openforcefield.org) and XtalPi, Inc. (xtalpi.com) seeks a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow to perform cutting-edge research in a unique academic-industrial joint effort.
OpenFF is an academic collaboration (based at UC Irvine / UC Davis / UC San Diego / Univ. Colorado Boulder / Sloan Kettering Institute in New York) that seeks to develop next-generation molecular mechanics force fields and associated parameterization software and data infrastructure. [More…]
I’m behind on updates,but there’s a lot of great news recently! Here are some highlights.
Lab news and events:
First year graduate students Danielle Bergazin, Jessica Maat and Noora Siddiqui recently joined the lab. This is in addition to a rotation by Daniel Seith.
We also have great news on the funding front — huge congratulations to Noora, who was just awarded a prestigious DOE CSGF to support her graduate studies! [More…]
