Description

The Institute of Biological Chemistry (IBC) at Academia Sinica, Taiwan (www.ibc.sinica.edu.tw) seeks outstanding candidates to fill tenure-track faculty positions. While our primary focus is on hiring at the Assistant Research Fellow level, we also welcome applications from more experienced candidates, including those at the Research Fellow level.

The Institute has a long tradition of excellence in research at the biology/chemistry interface, in particular protein biochemistry, structural biology, glycoscience and the study of other post-translational modifications. In this search, we are seeking candidates whose research interests complement existing research programs in the Institute. Individuals with expertise in quantitative or computational biology who are able to address the dynamics and complexity of biochemical problems are of particular interest. Experience integrating AI-based technologies into research projects is also highly desired. However, candidates with any relevant research programs will be considered.

The chosen candidates will receive an appointment at the Institute of Biochemical Sciences, National Taiwan University (ibs.ntu.edu.tw), along with substantial start-up funds, ongoing intramural support, and full access to all shared resources in Academia Sinica.

Application materials should include:

1) A cover letter with the names of three referees who will write on the applicant’s behalf;

2) A curriculum vitae;

3) A statement of research accomplishments;

4) A proposal for future research.

Application materials should be combined into a single PDF file and sent to the Chair of Recruitment Committee, c/o Ms. Pei-Ru Liao (email: prliao@as.edu.tw).

The applicant should arrange for the letters from the three referees to be sent directly to prliao@as.edu.tw. Screening of applications will begin on September 1, 2025 and will continue until the positions are filled.  

IBC is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce, and we actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from women, indigenous peoples, individuals from visible minority groups, persons with disabilities, and those of any sexual orientation or gender identity. Proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is not a prerequisite for application.
