The Center for Plant Gene Research (CPGR), Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has multiple full-time faculty positions at the Investigator (Professor) level. The successful candidates should establish a vigorous, externally-funded and state-of-the-art research program focusing on fundamental questions in the biology of plants, utilizing modern techniques of cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics and/or metabomics. We are particularly interested in candidates with demonstrated experiences in systems biology and omics methodologies. Potential research topics may include but are not limited to: genomics and proteomics in model species; secondary metabolites in plants; posttranscriptional, posttranslational and epigenetic regulations of plant growth and development. All applicants must have a Ph.D. degree along with postdoctoral experiences of 3-5 years. Demonstrated research experiences and outstanding publication records are essential for the successful candidates.
The Center is located in the CAS Olympic Life Science Park (next to the National Olympic Center) in a highly interactive scientific environment, including other Centers of the Institute and other CAS Institutes of life sciences. The Center currently has fourteen research groups, most of which also affiliate to the National Center of Plant Gene Research (Beijing) and the State Key Laboratory of Plant Genomics (see
http://www.genetics.ac.cn for details). The search will continue until the positions are filled.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, representative publications, a statement of research experiences and interests as well as the names and contact information of three referees to:
