Subject: 26.05.11 Postdocs in AI for Protein/RNA Modeling and Drug Discovery, NUS, Singapore
The Yang Zhang Lab at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is recruiting two postdoctoral fellows in AI and computational biology. The positions focus on developing next-generation AI methods for biomolecular modeling and AI-driven drug discovery, including protein and RNA folding, structure prediction, sequence design, and modeling of biomolecular states and interactions. The research is method-driven and emphasizes original algorithm and model development, including foundation-model architectures that integrate sequence, structural, and physical information. The goal is to advance the state of the art rather than simply applying existing tools or pipelines to standard benchmarks. Postdoctoral fellows will work in a computationally intensive environment with access to large-scale HPC systems, including hybrid NVIDIA GPU/CPU clusters. Candidates are expected to lead projects from algorithmic conception through implementation, large-scale training, rigorous evaluation, manuscript preparation, and publication. The lab is jointly based in the School of Computing, the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, and the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore. It operates at the interface of computer science, structural biology, and biomedical research, with opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration when scientifically relevant. Applicants should hold, or be close to completing, a PhD in computer science, machine learning, biophysics, computational biology, computational chemistry, or a closely related field. Strong programming skills and the ability to develop new models or methods are required. A strong publication record is expected. Experience in structural bioinformatics, molecular modeling, AI-driven drug discovery, protein/RNA modeling, or large-scale deep learning is a plus. The primary criteria are methodological depth, research creativity, and the ability to independently lead research projects. The positions are based in Singapore, an international, English-speaking research hub. The lab provides an internationally competitive salary and benefits package, together with strong logistical and research support.
To apply, please submit a single PDF to Prof. Yang Zhang at: zhang-*-nus.edu.sg The PDF should include: 1. Curriculum vitae with full publication list 2. Concise research statement describing prior work and future research plans 3. Contact information for three referees Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled. Start dates are flexible.
