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.

The Hsieh lab at IPMB focuses on fungal-bacterial competition. We combine functional genomics, genetics, and experimental evolution to determine the mechanisms and consequences of such cross-kingdom competition.

Our lab will start in October 2025. We are seeking 1-2 M.S. level research associates to help establish our new lab. Candidates will have the opportunity to lead independent projects under Phoebe’s mentorship and earn authorship on resulting publications. This position is ideal for someone with microbiology and molecular biology experience who seeks more hands-on research training.

Responsibilities
• Basic microbiology and molecular biology experiments, including:
o Routine handling of bacterial and fungal culture
o High-throughput genetic screens
o Build gene knockout strains
o Molecular cloning, DNA extractions, and sequencing
• Lab management support, including media prep, ordering, and maintaining equipment
• Candidates are encouraged to lead and execute small-scale independent research projects
• Present data at the lab meeting and provide weekly research updates
• Weekly update on the experimental progress
• 2-year minimum appointment

The laboratory of Dr. Ting-Ying Wu at the Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology, Academia Sinica (IPMB, AS), invites applications for a fully funded Research Assistant (RA) position. The successful candidate will explore plant-environment interactions, specifically focusing on plants such as Marchantia, Arabidopsis, and potentially soybean, under environmental stresses like heat stress and clock alterations associated with global warming in high-altitude crops. This project employs systems biology and predictive biology approaches and is conducted in collaboration with Dr. Devang Mehta’s lab at KU Leuven, Belgium. The job content includes Molecular cloning, analysis of protein expression, nuclear protein extraction, and mutant plant screening.

We are a new interdisciplinary laboratory with an excellent research and work environment, welcoming highly motivated individuals to join our team. Our primary research explores biochemical and biophysical processes through a range of advanced experimental techniques. We apply cutting-edge microscopy to investigate bacterial energetics, chemotaxis, and motility. By integrating physical modeling and simulation, we push the boundaries of discovery, venturing into areas previously unexplored.

The Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica (BRCAS; https://biodiv.tw/index.php?lang=en ), Taipei, Taiwan invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Research Fellow (equivalent to “assistant professor” at universities) level or above in the field of marine ecology and biodiversity to strengthen the research at the Green Island Marine Research Station.

The Biodiversity Research Center at Academia Sinica (BRCAS) invites applications for an innovative scientist specializing in vascular plant research with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
•Plant systematics and taxonomy
•Phylogenetics and evolutionary biology
•Plant ecology and biogeography
•Biodiversity and conservation

The lab of Ka Wai Ma is inviting application working on plant-
microbiota research. The lab is using different model systems and the
associated culture collection to understand the principles governing
plant-microbiota homeostasis. The lab routinely uses omics
techniques including amplicon sequencing, transcriptomics and
reconstitution system. The lab is currently looking for a motivated
candidate to work on a CRISPR editing project. The project aims to
use CRISPR technology to perform gene editing on crops with
subsequent phenotyping.
