PhD Studentship: Quantum Biophysics & Protein Design

Company: University of Exeter
Apply for the PhD Studentship: Quantum Biophysics & Protein Design
Location: Exeter
Job Description:

The University of Exeter invites applications for a funded PhD studentship that aims to engineer biological qubits converting spin signals into cellular responses. The project fuses open quantum spin dynamics with deep-learning protein design to form an in silico directed-evolution pipeline, supervised by LSI and NPL experts.

The scholar will use ColabDesign, ProteinMPNN and DFT-based methods to explore new protein scaffolds, enabling nanoscale quantum sensing inside living cells.
