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. Our preferred fields are coral ecology and diversity. Outstanding applicants in other fields of marine biology are also welcome. Applicants who can frequently work at the Green Island Marine Research Station and conduct marine ecology and biodiversity research mainly in Green Island will have priority in consideration. Green Island is a coral reef island in the eastern waters of Taiwan and BRCAS has a marine station there, which provides strong support in SCUBA diving for research.
Academia Sinica is the top national research institute in Taiwan and provides good start-up funding and substantial internal support for new PIs. BRCAS consists of four divisions: Marine biodiversity and ecosystems, Terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystems, Evolutionary genetics and genomics, and Microbial diversity and Bioinformatics. BRCAS is not only equipped with modern research facilities but also houses an excellent zoological and botanical collection in the Biodiversity Research Museum and manages the Green Island Marine Research Station.

本實驗室的研究重點為研究與傳染病、癌症及神經退化疾病相關的細胞表面醣化反應和功能，及對免疫系統之影響，進而發展治療藥物及方法。/ Our lab is focused on development of new methods and tools for making and studying carbohydrates and glycoproteins related to infectious diseases, cancers, and neurodegenerative disorders. Our goals are to use the methods to understand the roles of glycosylation in biology and to develop new medicines to target diseases associated with biological glycosylation and carbohydrate-mediated recognition.

【工作內容 / Responsibilities】
本實驗室的研究重點為傳染病及癌症新藥研發，利用結構生物學的技術（X光結晶學，低溫電子顯微鏡）探討新冠肺炎，流感，抗藥性細菌感染以及癌細胞之膜蛋白及醣蛋白結構，作為新藥研發的基礎。
1.藉由分析蛋白質的立體空間結構，作為新藥設計的基礎。
2.運用細胞及動物實驗模型，探討新型藥物之廣度及效能。
My lab foucuses on structural biology and drug discovery in infectious diseases and cancers. X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM are being used to study membrane proteins and glycoproteins in SARS-COV-2, influenza viruses, drug-resistant bacteria and cancers, to provide structural basis for drug-discovery and vaccine design. In vitro cell based assays and in vivo animal models are being used to validate the efficacy of novel vaccines.
