Computer-Aided Drug Design PhD Scholarship 2009 – University of New South Wales for citizen of Australia
Scholarship Introduction:
The Computer-Aided Molecular Design group at UNSW has an Australian Postgraduate Award Industry (APAI) scholarship available for one student to pursue a full time PhD degree and participate in a project supported by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and Avexa Ltd. The research area is the development of novel techniques to take protein flexibility into account when using computer-aided modeling in drug design. Of particular interest is the design of new inhibitors of the reverse transcriptase enzyme of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and their development into drugs. We specifically look for applicants with a strong background in molecular pharmacology and/or medicinal chemistry. Good skills in computer-aided molecular modeling would be a bonus; interest in how small molecules interact with their protein targets and in computer-aided molecular modeling is essential.
