Research in Dr. Fred Salsbury’s group is focused on the study of biological and biomedical problems using computational methods. We work at the interfaces of physics, chemistry, the life sciences and computation.

There is an opening for at least one postdoctoral research fellow to work on the design and development of chemotherapeutics using computational methods;  chiefly with molecular dynamics, and structure-based drug design tools. To inquiry about the position, email . To apply send a CV, statement of research interests and arrange to have 3 letters of reference sent to Dr. Salsbury

There will be openings for graduate students (online WFU graduate application form), applying by Jan 1 2010 for admission in Fall 2010.  As Dr. Salsbury is now a member of the departments of Physics and Cancer Biology, students can be accepted under either program.

Dr. Salsbury is also the Director of the Program in Structural and Computational Biophysics, if you are interested in applying under that track, please indicate so on your application. Contact Dr. Salsbury if you have any questions regarding this program.

There are several computational projects available for interested WFU undergraduate students from the sciences. If you are interested in undergraduate research, please email Dr. Salsbury. There is a wide-range of possible projects in biological physics that can be arranged with varying content in physics, chemistry, biology, and computation.

The NSF, NIH NCI, NCBC, IBM, WFU CCCRF, Golfers Against Cancer and the Translational Sciences Institute either currently support the Salsbury group or have done so recently, and are thanked for their support.
