PhD and Postdoc Openings in Chemistry, Biology, and Artificial Chemical Intelligence at University of Maryland University of Maryland, College Park in United States

Openings are advertised in chemistry, biology, physics, biophysics, mathematics, and machine learning at the interface of Artificial Chemical Intelligence and molecular simulation. The main research group highlighted is the Tiwary group at the University of Maryland, College Park, which works on understanding and predicting dynamics in complex molecular systems using statistical mechanics, information theory, and machine learning.

The post states that the group is looking for one or more postdocs and is also accepting multiple first-year PhD students for rotation in fall 2026 and fall 2027, with one new PhD student position specifically mentioned. Research interests include RNA structure prediction, protein conformational prediction, enhanced sampling, representation learning, diffusion models, generative flow networks, and therapeutics discovery.

For PhD applicants, the post says to apply to one of the relevant University of Maryland programs: Biophysics, Chemical Physics, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Physics, or Applied Math and Scientific Computing. Admission decisions are made at the program level, and admitted students can rotate with the group to check fit. The post also notes that applicants should have strong preparation in at least one relevant subject and should be comfortable with programming.

For the broader social post, additional faculty names are mentioned as possible fits for PhD positions in chemistry and biology at the interface of AI, including Yihang Wang at Case Western Reserve University and Yunrui Qiu at the University of Notre Dame. The post encourages applicants to mention fit in their statement of purpose and to email faculty if they are accepting students.

No stipend, tuition, or scholarship details are provided in the text. No deadline is explicitly stated.
