中央研究院 Hiring! Full Time Postdoctoral Fellow in 台灣 - Ricebowl

My lab at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Academia Sinica, focuses on the rapid evolution of essential genes and chromosome structures. We are particularly interested in the paradox of how genes and chromosomal features critical for survival and reproduction, typically expected to be evolutionarily conserved, can instead evolve rapidly under strong positive selection. To investigate this, we integrate genetics, genomics, and cytology to uncover the causes and consequences of this phenomenon.

We are seeking 1 postdoctoral researcher to conduct and lead research projects. Candidates will earn authorship on resulting publications and will be strongly encouraged to develop and lead independent projects. Successful candidates will have opportunities to attend international conferences and visit collaborator labs in US or Canada. I’m strongly committed to supporting career development and mentorship for all team members.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and contribute to research projects, including international collaborations
• Draft and revise manuscripts for publication; assist in grant writing
• Develop and pursue independent research directions
• Mentor junior lab members
• Present data at lab meetings and provide regular project updates
• Maintain weekly progress reports on experiments and analysis
