Cats Playing Together

Join the Shao Research Group

We are looking for motivated researchers to join our team at the intersection of quantum chemistry, organometallic catalysis, peptide drug design, and machine learning.

Our group at Nanyang Technological University offers an interdisciplinary environment focused on solving fundamental chemical problems through advanced computational modeling.

Research Fellow

Innovative | Adaptability | Productivity

  • We seek creative scientists with a strong background in computational chemistry. 

  • Postdocs in the Shao Group will lead high-impact projects to develop computational and machine learning methodologies for catalyst and drug design. 

  • This role best suits those aiming for a career in academia or high-level industrial R&D.

Ph.D. Students

Curiosity | Creativity | Collaborative

  • Graduate students are the core of our research efforts.

  • We provide rigorous training in physical organic chemistry, computational chemistry modeling, and the application of AI to chemistry.

  • Ph.D. students will develop the expertise needed to elucidate complex reaction mechanisms to design next-generation catalysts and drugs

Research Assistants

Skill | Foundation | Training

  • We welcome enthusiastic NTU undergraduates and Masters students looking to gain research experience.

  • You will be paired with a mentor to learn professional software (e.g., Gaussian, Python, or MD suites) and contribute to ongoing research in molecular design.
