Open Faculty Positions at Academia Sinica Taiwan

     Tenure-track faculty positions are open for highly qualified individuals to establish independent research programs in the broad area of molecular and cellular biology.  The Institute of Molecular Biology at Academia Sinica (http://www.imb.sinica.edu.tw/en) provides an active and stimulating research environment, is well supported by both extramural and long-term intramural funding, and features several core facilities (imaging, microarray & RNAi, electrophysiology, FACS, bioinformatics and mouse facilities) that provide state-of-the-art resources and key technical expertise to the Institute's research community. Recent research works were published in top journals such as Science, Nature, and Cell. Currently three Ph.D. programs, with one recruiting international students, are formally affiliated with the Institute. English is the official language for regular seminars and most of the lectures at the Institute, and proficiency in Chinese language is not a prerequisite for application.

     Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree or its equivalent, and postdoctoral research experience is preferred. Successful candidates will be appointed at the levels of Assistant, Associate, or Full Research Fellows (equivalent to academic ranks of Assistant, Associate and Full Professors at universities), and receive a generous multi-year start-up package, followed by annual intramural support. The selection process will start on December 15, 2010 until the positions are filled. Further information can be obtained from Ms. Vivi Chiang at vivi@imb.sinica.edu.tw
