The Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology (IPMB), Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan (https://ipmb.sinica.edu.tw/), invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions at all levels in the research areas of plants and plant-related microbes. Successful candidates should have research records complementary to the current IPMB research capacities or have the potential to launch a new research direction. Preference will be given, but not limited to, applicants with research experience in integrative structural biology or translational plant biology.

The mission of IPMB is to explore the functionality of plants and microbes to benefit science, agriculture, environmental sustainability, and human well-being. As a research institution funded by the central government, IPMB maintains well-equipped core facilities managed by Research Specialists/Assistants to provide state-of-the-art resources and key technical expertise for proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, cell biology, and imaging. The successful candidates will receive generous startup, annual intramural funds, and external competitive grant opportunities to establish independent/collaborative research programs.

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.

• A bachelor degree (or above) on Biological Sciences.
• Expertise in molecular cloning.
• Communication skills in English.
