In-Residence Training at the Theoretical & Computational Biophysics Group

GPlba-VWF Complex

The Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group (TCBG) announces an 'in-residence' workshop that invites 4-6 scientists to the home of the TCBG for advanced training and consultation with an ongoing molecular dynamics study carried out by the participants. The in-residence training program provides an opportunity for experimentalists and theorists who are not experts in modeling, to initiate a project that requires advanced modeling. During their two-week stay, participants will be provided with office space, use of computing facilities at the TCBG, and access to the expertise of TCBG group members. The goal of the in-residence workshop is to facilitate launch and refinement of participant modeling projects.

The in-residence training program is designed for academic (graduate students, postdocs, faculty), corporate, government, or other researchers who seek to extend their research area to include computational and theoretical expertise in molecular modeling. Applicants should provide a concise description of the modeling project they envision for study during the in-residence program. To allow for advanced work, applicants should be proficient in use of the VMD and NAMD software programs, and to have completed basic tutorials for those programs as can be found here. Furthermore, applicants are required to bring a laptop to facilitate after-hours work, and must stay for entire period of the program. Housing assistance is provided; participants must arrange and pay for their own travel.
