We are currently looking for postdocs, graduate students, and research assistants with expertise in biology, physics, computer science, mathematics, or engineering. Opportunities span experimental, computational, and theoretical projects centered around quantitative microbiology and cell biology. Although the research topics are adaptable, potential areas of exploration include live-cell imaging of individual and collective cellular behaviors (potentially involving strain construction), information-theoretic analyses of cell signaling, image and time-series analyses using advanced statistical techniques such as machine learning, and the development of pioneering measurement tools in microscopy and microfluidics. These positions are supported by stable core funding available at IMB, alongside grants from other international and Taiwanese bodies. Multiple fellowship opportunities are available. Applications will be evaluated on an ongoing basis until all positions are filled and start dates are flexible.
Our team is highly diverse and international. We actively seek applicants who can contribute to an inclusive group culture. An interdisciplinary ethos is at the heart of our lab, facilitating close interactions between individuals from varied backgrounds and fostering the generation of innovative ideas. Although past experience in a related field helps, it is not necessary. We will provide in-lab training programs on an individual basis. Interested candidates are encouraged to email Keita, attaching their CV, a concise outline of their scientific interests, and contact information for two references.
For those currently outside Taiwan and considering applying to the graduate program in Taiwan, we recommend checking out the Taiwan International Graduate Program (TIGP), which is an all-English program. Keita is affiliated with the Molecular & Cell Biology (MCB) and the Nanoscience & Technology (Nano) programs of TIGP.
