Shenzhen Bay Laboratory, referred to as SZBL hereafter, is a newly established Guangdong Provincial Laboratory. Located in the heart of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, SZBL aspires to be a world-class research institution and intellectual hub dedicated to understanding the fundamental biology underlying health and diseases.  

 

The overarching goal of SZBL is to provide full-spectrum approaches to disease prevention and intervention from basic research to bedside. Key focuses of research include cancer, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, neurological and psychiatric disorders, and infectious diseases. 

 

As a rapidly growing institution, SZBL has set up 14 institutes and centers （academic units), built state-of-the-art core facilities and attracted more than 90 world-class research groups with multidisciplinary backgrounds and professional expertise to push forward the vision of “Science for Global Health”.

The Institute of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders aims to understand pathogenic mechanisms of brain disorders including Alzheimer's disease, autism, chronic pain, depression, sleep disorder, schizophrenia, and stroke. The Institute encourages collaborations among scientists and clinicians with expertise in neuroscience, chemistry, engineering, computer science and medicine. With a better understanding of disease mechanisms, we hope to develop new ways to diagnose and treat neurological and psychiatric disease. 

 

 

The aim of our team is to reveal the mechanisms underlying neuronal activity-dependent gene expression, which is the basis of neuronal differentiation, wiring and neuropsychiatric disorders. We have studied cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuronal circuit formation in the neocortex for a long period, and based on the findings we would like to address scientifically and pathologically interesting issues. 

 

Position 1：Postdoctoral Associate  

 

 

Scientifically and/or pathologically interesting neuroscience issues will be addressed. He/she will investigate a few issues discussing with the PI, but basically should work by yourself so that the findings will be published as the first author. 

 

 

1. English should be used in laboratory. The experience and techniques of molecular biology, biochemistry, developmental biology, or neuroscience such as electrophysiology and anatomy are required. Theoretical approaches may be important later. 

 

2. It is preferable that he/she is interested in the brain development and plasticity. 

 

 

1. The annual salary is more than 400,000 yuan (including Shenzhen subsidies & SZBL Fenji subsidies), and the specific salary is negotiated based on the applicant's experience and achievements. 

 

2. You can apply for a 100,000 yuan annual "Fenji Postdoctoral" subsidy for the laboratory. 

 

If you meet the relevant regulations, you can apply for relevant supporting benefits in Shenzhen (such as other talent subsidies, public rental housing, talent housing, etc.), and the specific details need to be interviewed. 

 

Position 2：Research Assistant  

 

 

Scientifically and/or pathologically interesting neuroscience issues will be addressed. He/she can work discussing with the PI, and hopefully can make contribute to publishing a paper. 

 

 

1. English should be used in laboratory. Experience of either molecular biological techniques, biochemical techniques, neuroscience techniques such as electrophysiological and anatomical experiments, or imaging techniques is required. 

 

2. It is preferable that he/she is interested in the brain development and plasticity. 

 

 

The annual salary of bachelor's degree is 80,000-100,000 yuan, and the annual salary of master's degree is 120,000-150,000 yuan. 

 

If you meet the relevant regulations, you can apply for relevant supporting benefits in Shenzhen (such as other talent subsidies, public rental housing, talent housing, etc.), and the specific details need to be interviewed.
