Opportunities

We welcome highly motivated graduate/undergraduate students and postdoctoral researchers to join our lab.

Postdoctoral Researchers

We are currently looking for two highly motivated Postdoctoral Researchers to work on AI-driven drug discovery and accelerated molecular simulations. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of advanced AI tools for virtual screening of critical drug targets, as well as novel theoretical and computational methods to accelerate simulations of biomolecular recognition and cellular signaling. The position also offers opportunities to collaborate with world-leading experimental researchers and participate in high‑impact drug discovery efforts targeting therapeutically important biomolecules including G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), membrane‑embedded proteases and RNA.

Postdocs are strongly encouraged to apply for fellowships with our support from NIH, NSF, AHA, etc.

Graduate Students

The Miao Lab welcomes prospective talented graduate students in the Department of Pharmacology, Computational Medicine Program, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology, etc.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students with solid biology/chemistry/physics background, good computational skills, and an interest in computer-aided drug discovery are encouraged to contact the PI to discuss research opportunities in the lab.
