Research Opportunities in Computational Biology

I’m excited to share two paid research opportunities for undergraduate students and post-baccalaureates in summer 2026:

1. Rosetta Commons REU: AI for Biomolecular Structure Prediction and Design

This geographically distributed REU gives students the chance to conduct research using Rosetta Commons software library, which supports computational modeling and protein structure analysis. Students will gain hands-on experience with PyRosetta, machine learning, and collaborative coding environments, contributing to cutting-edge research in molecular modeling, protein design, enzyme design, ligand docking, and structure prediction.

Program benefits:

• • $6,000 stipend
  • Housing and food allowances
  • Travel accommodations

 

1. RaMP: Post-Baccalaureate Training Program in Biomolecular Structure Prediction and Design

This program is a one-year fellowship program intended for students to gain research experience to succeed in PhD programs. Trainees engage in research using Rosetta Commons software and participate in training bootcamp, professional development, mentoring, and a supportive research community.

Program benefits:

• Salary and health benefits
• Funding for conference travel

 

Research areas for both programs include:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Protein Design
• Drug discovery
• Code development
• Antibody Engineering
• Crowd-sourced citizen science

 

Applications are open now!
