Research Focus:
Our laboratory focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, spinal muscular aging, and RNA biology. We investigate molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks underlying disease and aging processes by integrating multi-omics approaches. The lab maintains stable production of high-quality datasets to support long-term, biologically driven research programs.

Position Overview:
This is a research-oriented bioinformatics position responsible for extracting biologically meaningful insights from multi-omics datasets. The majority of the work involves customized analysis and biological interpretation, complemented by routine pipeline execution and workflow evaluation or optimization.
In recent years, our research program has increasingly emphasized single-cell multi-omics, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing to characterize cellular and molecular changes associated with aging and neurodegeneration.
Initial projects will be conducted in close collaboration with a senior bioinformatician, with the expectation of transitioning toward independent leadership of customized analyses within the first year.

Laboratory Strengths:
The laboratory provides stable access to high-quality multi-omics datasets and is led by a bioinformatician with over ten years of experience. Authorship is assigned based on actual contribution, and the lab maintains consistent publication output. Funding support is secured for at least five years, and the group sustains long-term domestic and international collaborations, offering a stable and growth-oriented research environment.

Area(s) of Specialization:
The Institute of History and Philology (IHP) invites applications for 1–2 tenure-track positions in Environmental Archaeology. We seek innovative scholars exploring the complex interactions between human societies and their environments. Applicants possessing methodological expertise in areas such as Archaeobotany, Zooarchaeology, Bioarchaeology, Geoarchaeology, Landscape Archaeology, or Paleoclimatology/Climate Change are highly encouraged to apply. This position emphasizes a holistic approach: the successful candidate is expected to integrate laboratory-based science with robust, primary fieldwork practices.
Preferences will be given to candidates with:
(1) Regional Expertise & Adaptability: A primary research focus on Taiwan, followed by Southeast Asia and Oceania. We also welcome exceptional methodological specialists who can demonstrate a robust framework for applying their expertise to these regional contexts.
(2) Field Proficiency: A proven track record of field investigation and excavation.
(3) Ethical Engagement: Demonstrated experience or a commitment to collaborative research with Indigenous peoples or descendant communities.
Rank:
Assistant Research Fellow (position roughly correspond to assistant professor at the university level in the United States)

Area(s) of Specialization: All Subfields of Chinese History
Rank: Assistant Research Fellow [1–2 tenure-track positions]
(positions roughly correspond to assistant professor at the university level in the United States)

We conduct research in diverse areas of computational biology, data science and machine learning, including multi-omics data integration of cancers, optimal treatment design for heterogeneous and evolving tumors, single-cell omics data analysis, evolution of biomolecular networks and human populations, topological characterization of networks, and unsupverised learning using deep neural networks. Group members will gain experience in learning domain knowledge, performing scientific reasoning, formulating and solving mathematical models, developing algorithms, writing programs and using existing packages, collecting and analyzing big data, and interacting closely with international and domestic collaborators. We look for motivated persons curious about open scientific problems and willing to dedicate energy and time to solve them.

【Position description】
The Institute of Statistical Science of Academia Sinica is seeking visionary scientists to join our interdisciplinary research community. Applications are invited for tenure-track appointments as Full/Associate/Assistant Research Fellows (equivalent to Full/Associate/Assistant Professors in Universities). This tenure-track faculty position expects candidates to have new insights into statistics, data sciences, and computer science-related fields, including 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 annually. Unlike the universities, our faculty members have the freedom to choose to teach or not to teach.

Dr. Cheng is a neurobiologist. New positions are open for Laboratory Assistants and Postdoctoral Fellows interested in using the mouse to study molecular and cellular mechanisms of axon guidance and adult neurogenesis.

Prospective candidate should have a strong interest in chromatin biology, gene regulation and/or functional genomics. We investigate how disease-associated mutations in chromatin regulators and histones disrupt gene regulation.

The Research Center for Environmental Changes, Academia Sinica (Taiwan), seeks a Full Research Fellow (professor equivalent) to provide strategic leadership for the Anthropogenic Climate Change Center (AC3, https://rcec.sinica.edu.tw/index_en.php?action=researchGroup&cid=1). The AC3 aims to understand and quantify the impacts of anthropogenic global warming on extreme climate and high-impact weather with focus on East Asia and Taiwan. We specialize in Earth system climate modeling and climate diagnostics using empirical and numerical methods, collaborate with top universities, secure government funding, and actively participate in CMIP6 and the upcoming CMIP7 using the in-house Taiwan Earth System Model (TaiESM).

Position Overview
We seek a distinguished senior researcher with proven expertise in climate science and demonstrated administrative leadership to server as the center’s principal investigator and administrative head. The appointed individual will be responsible for guiding interdisciplinary research initiatives, directing the strategic planning of the AC3, and enhancing Taiwan’s capabilities in Earth system modeling.

Key Responsibilities
*Provide strategic and operational leadership for AC3’s research programs and related administrative activities.
*Advance Taiwan’s earth system climate modeling and climate diagnostics capacity and impact.
*Supervise and coordinate participation in CMIP activities.
*Secure and administer research funding and promote national and international collaborations.
*Provide mentorship to junior researchers and contribute to capacity-building initiatives in climate science.

Our laboratory is currently seeking two postdoctoral researchers and additional research assistants with expertise in molecular and cell biology techniques. Responsibilities include the development of a high-throughput analysis platform to investigate protein degradation and biomolecular interactions. The ultimate goal of this research is the development of targeted protein degradation therapeutics. Interested candidates should submit their CV to hcyen@as.edu.tw.
