PhD and Postdoc Opportunities in Computational Biophysics, AI, and RNA Drug Discovery at University of Notre Dame University of Notre Dame in United States

University of Notre Dame is advertising research opportunities in the group of Dr. Yunrui Qiu, who will join the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2026.

The group works at the intersection of computational biophysics, molecular simulations, statistical mechanics, machine learning, generative AI, and RNA biology. Research themes include AI-enhanced molecular dynamics, dynamical modeling, RNA structural dynamics, RNA-protein interactions, RNA-ligand interactions, and RNA drug discovery.

The post explicitly mentions openings for PhD students, postdocs, undergraduate researchers, and visiting scholars. It is therefore relevant for applicants interested in computational chemistry, biophysics, biomolecular modeling, and AI-driven methods for understanding complex biomolecular systems.

Eligibility requirements are not detailed in the post. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Qiu directly by email and review the faculty page for more information about the research group and prospective graduate student opportunities.
