Our research team is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join us in exploring the evolution, ecology, and biology of eukaryotic microbes with key ecological roles on Earth. We focus on the interactions between microbes and their environment and utilize cutting-edge omics and bioinformatics tools to uncover their evolutionary trajectories and regulatory mechanisms. Currently, we are conducting an NSTC-funded project on marine algae, population variation, and warming. This position is open until filled.

Research Topics
1. Population genomics and evolutionary biology of marine algae.
2. Effects of oceanographic and physico-chemical factors on algal distribution.
3. Genomic variation, transcriptomic regulation and physiological properties of lipid synthesis and host-virus interactions in marine algae.

Job description:
1. Lead and participate in research projects.
2. Design and conduct experiments or data analyses.
3. Establish standardized protocols or pipelines for all team members.
4. Actively participate in scientific writing and presentation
5. Mentor junior researchers

-PhD in genomics, bioinformatics, evolutionary biology, marine biology, microbiology, or a related field.
-Research experience in related topics.
-Strong programming skills in Python, R, or other relevant languages.
-Ability to lead research projects independently and collaborate effectively within a team.
-Proficient in English writing and communication skills.
-Experience in writing scientific papers and presenting at conferences.

Our institute is part of Academia Sinica, the Taiwanese academy of sciences. The working language in our lab and institute is English. Knowledge in Mandarin or other Taiwanese languages is not required, but foreign researchers are encouraged to take Mandarin classes if they want. More details can be found on our lab and institute websites. Inquiries are also welcome.
