About this position
Postdoctoral position available in structural bioinformatics at Purdue University in the group of Prof. Daisuke Kihara (Department of Biological Sciences and Department of Computer Science).
The project sits at the intersection of AI, structural biology, and bioinformatics, with research directions including biomolecular structure modeling using cryo-EM and cryo-ET data, protein and RNA structure prediction beyond AlphaFold, deep learning for structure analysis and functional annotation, and development of novel algorithms for large-scale biological data.
The lab is highly interdisciplinary and brings together biology, computer science, and statistics. The ideal candidate will have strong programming skills in Python and C++, experience in deep learning if possible, and a solid background in mathematics, biophysics, or chemistry. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in a relevant field or expect to receive one soon.
Lab information and publications are available on the Kihara Lab website. The post says the position is available immediately. No formal deadline is listed.
