In 1980 he moved to the University of Illinois, eventually becoming the Center for Advanced Study Professor of Chemistry, Physics and Biophysics. In 2000 he moved to the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego, as the Francis Crick Chair in the Physical Sciences. In addition to continuing his work on many body chemical physics, protein folding and structure prediction, he studied stochastic aspects of cell biology.{{Cite web |title=Welch |url=http://www.cchem.berkeley.edu/millergrp/welch/welch-51.pdf |website=www.cchem.berkeley.edu}} In 2011 he moved to Rice University as the Bullard-Welch Foundation Professor of Science, and Professor of Chemistry and Physics.{{Cite web|url=http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2011/may/27/ucsd-loses-three-star-scientists-rice/|title=The San Diego Union-Tribune - San Diego, California & National News}}
