Internship Details:  Duration: May 1 to August 31, 2026. Hours: ~33.75 hours/week Compensation: fixed hourly rate starting at $18.50 Location: Downtown Montreal at one of C3G’s McGill Campus locations. Application deadlines: Monday, March 6, 2026, 12 PM (noon) EST. for TD, OM, DT and CL projects  Monday, March 20, 2026, 12 PM (noon) EST. for the H1 and H2 projects

The Yang Zhang Lab at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is recruiting two postdoctoral fellows in artificial intelligence and computational biology. The lab is jointly based in the School of Computing, the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, and the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore, working at the interface of computer science, structural biology, and biomedical research. The positions focus on developing next-generation AI methods for biomolecular modeling and AI-driven drug discovery, including protein/RNA folding, structure prediction, and sequence design. The research is method-driven, emphasizing original algorithm/model development (foundation-model architectures integrating sequence, structure, and physical information) rather than applying existing pipelines to standard benchmarks. Fellows will work in a computationally intensive environment with access to large-scale HPC (hybrid NVIDIA GPU/CPU clusters) and are expected to lead projects from conception through large-scale training and rigorous evaluation.

The Canadian Center for Computational Genomics (C3G) at McGill University offers a stimulating and rewarding working environment, where projects bring concrete contributions to the advancement of research in fields such as human health and the environment. Our team is composed of people who are passionate about what they are doing. We work with data from cutting-edge sequencing technologies using high-performance computing equipment.
