The Chen Lab of the Departments of Physics, Biochemistry, and the Institute for Data Science and Informatics at the University of Missouri focuses on developing machine learning and physics-based approaches for RNA structure prediction, RNA-targeted drug discovery, and design of genome editing systems. In the recent CASP16 international competition for biomolecular structure prediction, the Chen Lab achieved first place in RNA categories. The lab is currently seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the team.
Requirements for postdoctoral applicants: (a) A PhD in Bioinformatics, Data Science, Physics, Chemistry, or a related field. (b) Demonstrated strength in computational studies with proficiency in programming. Familiarity with machine learning techniques would be helpful.
Interested candidates please send an email with CV to Prof. Shi-Jie Chen at mol.dyn5@gmail.com.
