About this position

The Computational Chemistry Laboratory at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), South Korea, is inviting applications for PhD and integrated PhD (MS-PhD) positions. The lab, led by Professor Jun-Ho Choi, focuses on understanding the structure and dynamics of water and aqueous solutions using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and graph theory. Research topics include molecular aggregation behavior, the Hofmeister effect, protein stabilization mechanisms, phase separation in liquid mixtures, and the development of carbon-neutral materials using AI and quantum chemistry methods.

Applicants should have a strong background in physical and computational chemistry, with degrees in chemistry, interdisciplinary natural sciences, physics, or related fields. Proficiency in English, autonomous learning skills, and strong programming abilities are highly valued. The group offers a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment, with opportunities to participate in high-profile projects and international conferences.

All students at GIST receive a full scholarship, which covers tuition and provides additional funding for research activities and conference participation. Interested candidates should prepare a single PDF containing a cover letter, CV, diplomas, a description of research experience and interests, a motivation statement, and a publication list (if any). Applicants are encouraged to include a one-page statement discussing group publications and potential future research directions. Applications should be sent via email to Professor Jun-Ho Choi ([email protected]). The official graduate admission schedule can be found on the GIST website, with the next application deadline for Spring 2026 admission on August 1, 2026.

For more information about the lab and research topics, visit the Computational Chemistry Laboratory's academic page. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Professor Choi directly with any questions regarding the positions or application process.

Funding details

Full scholarship is provided for all students at GIST, including tuition coverage and funding for participation at conferences. Additional financial support is available for research activities and interdisciplinary collaborations.
