The Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position (at the rank of Assistant Research Fellow, equivalent to Assistant Professor, or above) in socio-cultural anthropology or closely related fields (special consideration will be given to those with expertise in Austronesian studies). The Institute of Ethnology is a research institution with excellent resources and funding for fieldwork and research. No teaching is required, and advancement is based on scholarly publication record.

本實驗室利用蘚苔為實驗材料，致力於研究陸生植物的外表形態環境適應及其訊號傳遞的演化過程機制。本計畫會用到分子生物、遺傳、基因組編輯、顯微鏡觀察及蛋白純化等技術。歡迎對植物研究工作有熱忱的你加入。
The lab is using moss (Physcomitrium patens) as a model to investigate various developmental biology-related questions in plants. The lab routinely employs techniques such as genetic manipulations, protein expression/purification, and confocal microscopy observation. We encourage those interested in plant biology to be part of the team.

【Position description】
The Institute of Statistical Science, Academia Sinica, invites applications for tenure-track positions at the levels of Assistant, Associate, or Full Research Fellow (equivalent to Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor at universities). We seek visionary researchers eager to contribute to our interdisciplinary community. Candidates should bring fresh perspectives to statistics, data science, and related fields such as computer science and artificial intelligence.

【Job description】
Academia Sinica, Taiwan’s most preeminent academic research institution, offers generous research funding, travel support, faculty housing, and other benefits. The Institute of Statistical Science provides a secure and stimulating research environment, with more than 30 faculty members, supportive administrative and IT teams, and many international visiting scholars and academic activities annually. Unlike university faculty, our researchers have the flexibility to choose whether or not to teach.

Launched in September 2022, the Kamino Lab investigates the fundamental principles that govern cellular behavior and information processing. With Keita’s background in physics, our lab integrates diverse approaches, including molecular genetics, theoretical physics, microscopy, and machine learning. We are currently seeking two research assistants with strong backgrounds in related fields and a passion for interdisciplinary research. Potential areas of exploration include, but are not limited to:
- Live-cell analysis of cellular behaviors using advanced microscopy techniques
- Theoretical analysis of cell-signaling dynamics using probability, information theory, and dynamical systems theory
- Image and time-series analysis using advanced statistical methods, including machine learning
- Development of cutting-edge measurement tools in microscopy and microfluidics

The Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology (IPMB), Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan (https://ipmb.sinica.edu.tw/), invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions at all levels in the research areas of plants and plant-related microbes. Successful candidates should have research records complementary to the current IPMB research capacities or have the potential to launch a new research direction. Preference will be given, but not limited to, applicants with research experience in integrative structural biology or translational plant biology.

The mission of IPMB is to explore the functionality of plants and microbes to benefit science, agriculture, environmental sustainability, and human well-being. As a research institution funded by the central government, IPMB maintains well-equipped core facilities managed by Research Specialists/Assistants to provide state-of-the-art resources and key technical expertise for proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, cell biology, and imaging. The successful candidates will receive generous startup, annual intramural funds, and external competitive grant opportunities to establish independent/collaborative research programs.

We are looking for a 1-2 year short term research assistant on molecular biology. You will be involved in any of the following projects:

Topic 1 Plant synthetic biology: To build a synthetic polarity circuit in plant root hair to hijack and modulate root hair tip growth.

Topic 2: Fungal cell polarity: To elucidate how differences in the polarity proteins in yeast and filamentous fungi influence the spatial temporal dynamics of cell polarity.

Topic 3: Bacterial communication within biofilms: Bacteria form multicellular communities called biofilms. Biofilms develop using patterned cell differentiation, similar to embryogenesis. This project aims to elucidate how oscillators within individual bacteria couple with each other to form synchronized patterns collectively in a biofilm.

Who we are looking for: People who are 1. experienced and skilled in molecular cloning, specifically making plasmid constructs, and 2. want to learn more.

What you will learn: All of the topics above heavily rely on the crosstalk between Dynamic Systems Theory, and Molecular Cell Biology. The lab is integrally good at Live Cell Imaging, Image Analysis, Coding, Dynamic Modeling, and Microfluidics. We encourage you to see this as an opportunity to learn something new for your future career.
