Welcome to Florence Tama Research Group |
Computational structural biophysics The primary motivation behind our studies is to explore using computational approaches, at a near-atomic level, functionally important rearrangements in biological systems observed in experiments at high or low-resolution to obtain new insights into the mechanism of these transformations that are presently inaccessible to experiments.

Postdoctoral Positions available |
|
Applications are invited for several postdoctoral positions starting immediatly in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics at the University of Arizona in Tucson. The initial appointment will be for one year with reappointment for a second year by mutual agreement.
Research interests focus on three main areas: - Modeling of large supramolecular assemblies using coarse-grained approaches to understand large conformational changes related to the function of these molecules.
- Physical understanding of these large conformational changes using detailed atomic molecular dynamics simulations.
- Development and application of novel methods that integrate experimental data such as cryo-EM, FRET, SAXS for large macromolecular assemblies structure prediction.
Ideal candidates would have a strong background in computational or theoretical chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, structural biology or related disciplines. Experience in molecular modeling and simulation of biological systems, advanced programming skills (C, Fortran, Perl), familiarity with UNIX/Linux operating system, and an interest in developing new methodologies are highly desirable but not necessary.
Applicants should submit inquiries or applications (a current CV with a publication list, description of research experience and interests, and names of three references) by email: ftama at u dot arizona dot edu |
