Description

The Biophysical and Biomedical Measurement Group at NIST (Gaithersburg, MD) is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to advance a theory/computation project focused on classifying DNA and RNA ensembles using secondary-structure-based distance metrics and clustering. A central goal is to build hierarchical, interpretable ensemble representations that connect simulation-derived clusters to experimental measurements/observables and statistical-physics interpretation (e.g., energetic barriers and kinetic pathways).

Application deadline: July 27, 2026

Program begins fall 2026
