Lin lab is recruiting a research assistant/lab manager. Our lab is working on microfluidic cell culture, time-lapse microscopy, and image analysis. We are particularly interested in applicants with molecular biology, microbiology, physics or mechanical/electrical engineering training background.

The job will be mainly research works and potentially with administrative works (optional). Based on applicants’ expertise and career plan, we could choose suitable kinds of tasks and duties for you.

Lin lab is recruiting researchers who are interested in systems biology and biophysics. We welcome people from various research backgrounds including quantitative biology, microfluidic engineering, mathematical modeling, etc.

Our lab will explore multiple research directions, including: (1) Characterizing metabolic dynamics and cell growth in E. coli or S. pombe at the single-cell level, with time-lapse microscopy and microfluidics cell culture. (2) Theoretical and computational studies for cell growth and reaction networks, focusing on cellular resource/energy allocation, metabolic network evolution, autocatalytic systems, nonlinear and nonequilibrium physics, etc.

I have been benefited from the interdisciplinary trainings in my scientific career, and my goal is to hold an interdisciplinary research environment for cultivating next-generation scientists.

The Institute of Molecular Biology at Academia Sinica (http://www.imb.sinica.edu.tw/en) provides an active and stimulating research environment. It is well supported by both extramural and long-term intramural funding, and features several core facilities (imaging, Next Generation Sequencing, RNAi, electrophysiology, FACS, biophysics, bioinformatics, transgenic core, and animal facility) that provide state-of-the-art resources and key technical expertise to the Institute’s research community. Currently two Ph.D. programs, with one recruiting international students, are formally affiliated with the Institute. English is the official language for seminars and lectures at the Institute, and proficiency in Chinese language is not a prerequisite for application.

We are looking for postdocs with expertise in biology, physics, mathematics, or engineering. Opportunities span experimental, computational, and theoretical projects centered around quantitative micro- and cell-biology. Although research topics are flexible, potential areas of exploration include live-cell imaging of individual and collective cellular behaviors (potentially involving strain construction), information-theoretic analyses of cell signaling, image and time-series analyses using advanced statistical techniques including machine learning, and the development of pioneering measurement tools in microscopy and microfluidics.

The selected candidate will be involved in the following projects. While the precise research topic will be decided flexibly based on the candidate's interest, the primary responsibilities include:
1. Live-cell imaging using advanced fluorescence-microscopy techniques.
2. Fabrication and development of microfluidics devices.
3. Image and time-series analyses employing advanced statistical techniques, including machine learning.

We are a group of interdisciplinary scientists, investigating regulatory logic underlying emergent properties of biochemical systems, including oscillators, switches, and trigger waves especially those that control cell death, quiescence and metabolic homeostasis. We use quantitative approaches including CRISPR-mediate cell engineering, single cell time-lapse imaging, mathematical modeling of dynamic systems, time series analysis, microfluidic engineering, etc., to study human cells (cancer cells and neuronal cells) under metabolic and drug challenges. We aim to develop strategies to control cell behavior for the treatment of aging-related diseases (cancer and neurodegeneration).

Dr. Cheng is a developmental neurobiologist. New positions are open for Laboratory Assistants and Post-doctoral Fellows who are interested in using mouse and/or C. elegans to study molecular and cellular mechanisms of axon guidance and adult neurogenesis.

Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Academia Sinica, Taiwan, invites applications for a senior lab manager/array tomography (AT) core facility manager position with the title of Project Scientist/Project Research Manager or Assistant Research Specialist (which is equal to Assistant Research Fellow in the salary rank). IMB, consisting of 38 laboratories, engages in biological research at the molecular, cellular and systems levels in the fields of chromosome biology, neuroscience, immunology, plant and systems biology. IMB has a high research standard with an excellent publication record, and maintains the state-of-the-art research facilities including next-generation sequencing (NGS) and imaging cores.

Responsibilities：
We are looking for postdocs familiar with mouse study to investigate the role of immune regulation in telomere diseases. Our laboratory is committed to exploring the relationship between telomere maintenance and human disease. We use cell biology, mouse models, and next-generation sequencing technology to explore the role of telomere function in aging-related diseases and cancer. At the same time, we collaborate with researchers in clinical medicine and medicinal chemistry to understand disease mechanisms and develop treatments for human disease.

Using mouse models and human iPSC system, together with scRNA/ATAC-seq technique to decipher the molecular mechanism for aging and healthy longevity. We also aim to uncover the new method to cure motor neuron disease by gene therapy. We strongly encourage candidates interested in molecular mechanisms of gene regulation as related to non coding RNAs should apply. Candidates experienced in ESC/iPSC cell culture and mouse embryo manipulation are preferred, but not required.
