PhD and Postdoc Openings in Chemistry, Biology, and Artificial Chemical Intelligence at University of Maryland
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.
