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

【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.

【職位描述】
中央研究院統計科學研究所誠徵具有遠見卓識的科學家，加入我們跨領域的研究社群，擔任助研究員、副研究員或研究員（相當於大學之助理教授、副教授或教授），且在統計、資料科學與電腦科學相關領域（包括人工智慧）方面有創新的見解。

【職務內容】
中央研究院為台灣頂尖的學術研究機構，提供優渥的研究經費、差旅補助、職員宿舍及其他福利。統計科學研究所擁有穩定且充滿活力的研究環境，目前有超過30位研究人員，以及堅強的行政和資訊技術支援團隊，每年接待許多國際訪問學者，舉辦重要學術活動。我們的研究人員享有選擇是否教書的自由，與大學教職有所不同。

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.
