Postdoctoral Researchers: We are looking for bold, creative-minded postdocs with extensive experience in molecular simulation, computational biology or theoretical chemistry to take a leadership position in our uniquely cross-disciplinary group of quirky nerds. Must be comfortable working closely with external collaborators on joint projects as well as initiate new projects/collaborations as opportunities arise. Must be willing to help train and supervise junior lab members, as well as have a proper appreciation for puns. Humorless Vulcans need not apply. Please inquire by emailing your CV and representative publications to Dr. Chen.

Graduate Students:  Students interested in pursuing a doctoral or master’s degree in our lab are encouraged to apply to the UAlbany Chemistry graduate program. No prior computational experience is necessary, but a quantitative science background is a must as is a passion for learning and sharing new scientific perspectives in a rapidly evolving and highly interdisciplinary field. Several fully-funded positions available. Opportunities also exist for co-mentored students with collaborators in the Biology, Chemistry, or Physics  departments. For best consideration, please contact Dr. Chen via email directly before applying.

Post-Baccalaureate Researchers: Are you a recently graduated bachelor’s science/engineering student with significant experience in computational biophysics, computational chemistry, or computational biology?  Consider spending a “gap” year with us  – get paid to do cool computational research, get published, present at conferences, make your CV look irresistable for that next step – possibly leading to a paid MS degree. Explore diverse career options through the alternative career, scientific entrepreneurship, or science writing workshops held at the RNA Institute. Must already have significant undergraduate computational research experience and be able to commit to staying an entire year. Familiarity with LINUX and a scripting language such as PYTHON a distinct plus. Please email your CV to Dr. Chen

Undergraduate Students:  Students from any major interested in gaining interdisciplinary research experience in biomolecular simulation and/or computational chemistry are encouraged to contact the P.I. to discuss possible research topics. Preference for those interested in staying on for summer research or an Honors thesis. Summer research stipends may be available for students progressing well after one-semester of volunteer research.
