Seeking Research Scientists or Postdoctoral Researcheres (IMS209-2302) Full-time

Research Scientists Or Postdoctoral Researcheres

Our laboratory focuses on mammalian retrotransposon biology associated with genomic alteration, immune responses, and epigenomic regulation. Through the analysis of omics data including proteomics, genomics and transcriptome analysis, we conduct basic science on retrotransposon-mediated immune responses, aging regulation and genomic alterations, or the development of new technologies to regulate these processes.

Total two positions for Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher. Note: The laboratory is seeking to hire two postdoctoral researchers or one research scientist and one postdoctoral researcher.

The successful candidate will engage in research for aging regulation, immune responses, and genomic alteration using retrotransposon-related omics data. The job description may be changed during the contract period or upon contract renewal to the extent described above.

The difference in positions is as follows:

• Research Scientist: Carries out research and other work in accordance with laboratory research themes.
• Postdoctoral Researcher: Carries out research and other work in accordance with laboratory research themes under the mentorship and training of supervisors.

The candidate should possess sufficient research experience in mammalian retrotransposons, or abilities in genome sequencing, transcriptome, or proteomics analysis. The candidate should also abilities to communicate efficiently with collaborators inside and outside the team to promote collaborative research.
