There is a fully funded PhD doctoral position in the Jing Li group ( https://jinglilab.com ) at the School of Pharmacy in the University of Mississippi.The Li group is seeking a highly motivated candidate to join our team. The graduate student will learn and apply molecular dynamics simulation, bioinformatics, and machine learning modeling to investigate the sequence-structure-dynamics-function relationship of ion channels and membrane transporters. Additionally, we aim to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying dysfunctions in these membrane proteins that contribute to various diseases.The School of Pharmacy at UM is ranked as top 25 among US nationally ranked public pharmacy schools and top 20 in terms of federal research funding. Our PhD program offers a collaborative team-based environment with ample opportunities for education, training, and career development.Minimum Qualifications:Applicants should possess a recent master/bachelor degree.General background in biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology, or physical chemistry.Programming skills.Passion in computational scientific research.Preferred Qualifications:Experience in performing molecular dynamics simulation or machine-learning modeling on biomolecules.Experience in writing research articles and a track record of peer-reviewed publications in biomedical research.Team-oriented with excellent communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.How to Apply
To apply, please submit a cover letter detailing prior experience and research interests, along with your CV, transcripts, and contact information for three references to Dr. Jing Li at
