Tenure-track of Principal Investigator positions at biology/chemistry…

The Institute of Biological Chemistry (IBC) at Academia Sinica, Taiwan (www.ibc.sinica.edu.tw ) seeks outstanding candidates to fill tenure-track faculty positions at all levels. The Institute has a long tradition of excellence in research at the biology/chemistry interface, in particular protein biochemistry, structural biology, glycoscience and the study of other post-translational modifications. Applicants should possess expertise in fields that would strengthen/complement these areas or other research programs in the Institute. We are particularly interested in individuals whose research interests lie in the broadly defined areas of host-microbe interactions, cell homeostasis, intracellular-extracellular communication and synthetic biology. Individuals with programs that are focused on developing a molecular understanding biological phenomena or the development of new technologies to address biological questions (e.g., chemical probes and natural products) are both of interest. Successful candidates will have a joint appointment at the Institute of Biochemical Sciences, National Taiwan University (ibs.ntu.edu.tw), be provided with generous start-up funding and annual intramural support, and enjoy full access to all shared resources in Academia Sinica. Application materials should include: 1) A cover letter with the names of three referees who will write on the applicant’s behalf; 2) A curriculum vitae; 3) A statement of research accomplishments; and 4) A proposal for future research. Application materials should be combined into a single PDF file and sent to the Chair of Recruitment Committee, c/o Ms. Pei-Ru Liao (email: prliao@gate.sinica.edu.tw ). The applicant should arrange for the letters from the three referees to be sent directly to prliao@gate.sinica.edu.tw . Screening of applications will begin on February 6, 2023 and will continue until the positions are filled.
