TSINGHUA ADVANCED INNOVATION FELLOW PROGRAM
The Tsinghua Advanced Innovation Fellow Program is an internationally competitive postdoctoral fellowship program in the newly established Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Structural Biology (ICSB) at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. Using its world-class cryo-electron microscopy (cryo- EM) facility, ICSB is developing cutting-edge technologies and methodologies in structural biology using cryo-EM, X-ray
crystallography and biomolecular NMR spectroscopy, among other things. ICSB specializes in biological and biomedical research, as well as working with interdisciplinary teams on technology development. Aimed at highly motiv at ed researchers, this program offers an internationally competitive salary and fringe benefits. We are an equal-opportunity employer. Recruitment is open until the end of 2017.
Basic requirements
A PhD in mathematics, chemistry, physics, material sciences, computer sciences, engineering, or biological sciences (structural biology)
Must be fluent in English with excellent communication skills
Experience in the following areas are an advantage:
Scientific computing, algorithm design and implementation
C/C++ programming on Windows and Linux operating system, VC++ and QT programming tools, Shell scripting language, parallel computing based on HPC clusters or GPUs
Cryo-EM operation and electron optics
3D reconstruction algorithms using cryo-EM (single particle or cryo-tomography)
Nanomaterials, surface chemistry, micro-fluidic technique or precise instrument design and processing technology
X-ray crystallography, X-ray diffraction phase retrieval methodology development, electron diffraction analysis and structural analysis
Structural studies of macromolecular molecules
