"Tenure-track Faculty Positions in Metabolism, Immunology & Chemical Biology at GRC, TW"

Job Details

The Genomics Research Center (GRC) is organized into three Divisions - Chemical Biology, Medical Biology, and Metabolic Sciences - aiming to translate discoveries from genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and glycomics into diagnostics and therapeutics for precision health and medicine.

Metabolic Sciences Division

Seeking candidates focused on metabolic and bioenergetic mechanisms relevant to human diseases (e.g., metabolic and chronic inflammatory diseases). Expertise in metabolomics/lipidomics and metabolic flux analyses is particularly encouraged.

Medical Biology Division

Seeking candidates with expertise in immunology, particularly those who apply single-cell/spatial systems biology to study tumor immunology. Candidates using stem cell/organoid tissue development to model human disease are also of interest.

Chemical Biology Division

Seeking expertise in chemical biology with innovative approaches (e.g., synthesis or identification of bioactive molecules/metabolites informed by metabolomics) and/or AI-assisted drug design/development for disease diagnostics and therapeutics.

Qualifications

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent) with appropriate postdoctoral experience. Successful recruits will be appointed at the levels of Assistant, Associate, or Full Research Fellow (equivalent to Assistant/Associate/Full Professor). A generous start-up package and continuing intramural support will be provided.

Research Environment

The GRC offers a stimulating research environment with core facilities including NMR, Peptide, Mass Spectrometry, metabolomics, Glycan, Pathology, Flow Cytometry, imaging, and Ultra-High-Throughput Drug Screening Facilities. English is the official language for seminars and lectures.

Application Materials

• Cover letter (background, experience, a brief statement of research direction, and contact information for three referees)
• Curriculum vitae (education; positions; major achievements; funding record, if any; publications and patents list)
• Statement of research accomplishments and future plans
• Names and contact information of three references

Please arrange for recommendation letters to be sent directly by the letter writers to the Search Committee.

Submission

Combine all materials into a single PDF and email the file to the Chair of the Faculty Search Committee, Dr. Yun-Ru (Ruby) Chen, c/o Ms. Susan Tsai at susantsa@as.edu.tw.

Timeline

Review of applications will begin in late December 2025 and continue until the positions are filled.
