标题: [征才] 中研院 海洋微藻研究室 生物资讯研究人员
时间: Mon Jul 15 12:16:31 2019
【职缺名称】
生物资讯研究人员
【征才单位】
中央研究院 植物暨微生物学研究所
真核微生物/海洋微藻演化与生态研究室
研究室主持人：顾铨
【工作地址】
台北市南港区研究院路二段128号中研院植微大楼
（邻近南港车站、南港捷运站、南港展览馆捷运站）
【工作内容】
主要课题：
1. 海洋微藻的基因体与生殖：海洋微藻占地球总生物质量不到1%，却占了全球每年二氧化
碳固定量的50%，在环境、生态、元素循环及气候调节中扮演了不可或缺的角色。
本研究室着重于全球广泛分布的藻类 钙板藻，其独特之处在于会行钙化作用（将钙离子及
二氧化碳衍生物转为可沉积之碳酸钙）。借由最先进的基因体与转录体定序技术，我们希
望能了解钙板藻的起源与演化、染色体变异、双倍体与不会钙化的单倍体之间的转换以及
海洋大规模藻华的族群动态与遗传。
其他：
1. 真核生物巨病毒演化与基因调控：巨病毒是一群目前已知最大型的病毒，广泛存在于海
洋及其他生态系，并感染各种真核生物（脊椎动物（如：非洲猪瘟）、昆虫、各种变形虫
及藻类）。
2. 其他真核微生物演化或生态的课题，欢迎讨论。
【征才条件】
1. 硕士学位（符合其他条件但只有学士者亦欢迎来信询问）
或
2. 博士学位
其他条件请见【其他备注】
【薪资待遇】
1. 硕士：月薪 NTD 45000 起
2. 博士：月薪 NTD 66000 起
依经验、能力与预期成果调高月薪，于起聘前讨论。每年调薪。
年终 1.5 个月薪。

Jobs:
Bioinformaticians or computational biologists
Location:
Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology, Academia Sinica, Taiwan
Principal investigator:
Chuan Ku
https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=1BDzxq8AAAAJ&hl=en
https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6414-4423
Responsibilities:
1. Learning about current methods and topics in the field of research
(15%; e.g., literature research, courses).
2. Participating in the science activities at the Institute and the Academia
(5%; e.g., seminars, workshops)
3. Data analyses, discussion (60%)
4. Presentation of results (20%; e.g., meetings, conferences, publications)
Research topics:
We are broadly interested in microbial eukaryotes, tiny organisms with complex
cells like those of animals and plants. They are mostly invisible to the naked
eye, but account for half of the carbon fixation and many other ecological
processes on our planet.
Currently our research focuses on the genomics of marine microalgae and giant
viruses infecting eukaryotes. Successful candidates will focus on the
evolutionary and ecological genomics of coccolithophores, the only group of
microalgae that are capable of calcification, converting carbon dioxide and
calcium into calcite (chalk) platelets that can be sedimented at the bottom of
the ocean.
People can also develop other projects related to microbial eukaryote evolution
and ecology.
Requirements:
1. a degree in informatics, biology, natural sciences, or any related field
2. motivation to work in a research environment
3. ability to work both independently and as part of a team
4. sufficient English skills for reading, writing, and oral communication in
science (the working language at the institute is English)
5. skills:
1. R language
2. another programming language (Python, Perl, C++, or others)
3. Linux/Unix environment
4. experience in working on a biological project
(e.g., sequencing/genomic/evolutionary analyses)
Any of the following would be a plus, but not required:
1. experience in artistic design and common graphics editor programs
2. server/database management
3. high-performance computing
4. geographic information systems
5. bioimage analyses
6. web development
7. other relevant skills (please describe)
Salary:
1. Every year there is a bonus comparable to 1.5-month salary, so the annual
salary is the monthly times 13.5.
2. Starting salary for a master's graduate: NTD 45,000/month (NTD 607,500 p.a.)
3. Starting salary for a doctoral graduate: NTD 66,000/month (NTD 891,000 p.a.).
4. Adjusted according to the candidate’s experience and qualifications.
5. The contract can be renewed each year with a salary increase of about 3%.
Additional raise is possible.
6. Postdoctoral candidates are encouraged and will be assisted by the PI to
apply for competitive fellowships.
About the lab:
This is a newly founded lab. Passionate researchers from around the world are
welcome to join us. We encourage science communication and international
exchange by providing funding for attending conferences/workshops/courses in
Taiwan and abroad. Short-term exchange abroad in collaborating labs is also
possible. Lab dinners and an annual lab retreat will be arranged.
To apply:
Please send your application to Chuan Ku (chuanku[at]gate.sinica.edu.tw):
1. The email title should be: IPMB_application_XXX (XXX is your full name)
2. Please briefly describe in the email your research interests, experience,
skills, future plan, and contact details of two referees.
3. The attachment should be a single PDF that includes your CV, transcripts,
degree certificates, (if any) (preliminary) thesis title and abstract , and
(if any) proofs of skills and experience.

, solve problems, and contribute to our knowledge, who are looking for a
long-term (3 years or longer) job in research, or who seek to proceed to
further study/research and want to acquire the relevant experience and to have
a good record of research accomplishment in the near future.
2. Preference will be given to candidates who can work longer.
3. Candidates with only a bachelor’s degree may be considered.
4. Necessary trainings in the field of research will be provided by the
PI/other lab members/IPMB/AS/courses.
5. The starting date could be any time this year. Candidates who are going to
graduate are also welcome to apply.
6. If you have your ideal starting date and salary range, please mention them
in the email.
