A
postdoctoral position at the University of Primorska – mentor Assist. Prof. Nino
Bašić
The
Departments of Information Sciences and Technologies of Andrej
Marusic Institute (UP IAM) and Faculty
of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies (UP FAMNIT) at
the University of Primorska, are seeking a top early-career researcher for
a postdoctoral position. Polyhedral
self-assembly is a very appealing research field, both in the area of synthetic
biochemistry and also mathematics. A great attention was paid to modelling
self-assembly from a single-chain peptide. A mathematical model was established
that heavily relies on the use of special double traces of graphs. A lot of
research territory still remains open, for instance the study of multiple-chain
self-assembly. Of course, the mathematical model has to be adopted accordingly
to enable multiple chains. It has to take into account both parallel and
anti-parallel dimers, as well as homo- and hetero-dimers. The research goal is
to develop a model that is as general as possible, while still manageable. An
important component of the project are computer simulations (including the use
of computer clusters and multicore systems). The
candidate will also have the opportunity to be involved in research of other
topics in chemical graph theory which are pursued by the local research group,
such as spectral properties of molecular graphs, chemical hexagonal complexes,
core and nut graphs, altans of chemical graphs etc. The
successful candidate will be part of the Departments of Information
Sciences and Technologies at UP IAM and UP FAMNIT, and
will work under the guidance of Dr Nino
Bašić. Terms and conditions:
Deadline & Application process: Applications will be considered on a
rolling basis until May 1, 2022, or until the
