本日より名大「トランスフォーマティブ生命分子研究所」のウェブサイトがオープンになりました。それに伴い博士研究員を20名募集しています。詳しくは下記及び、ウェブサイトをご覧ください。

Twenty Postdoctoral Positions:

Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM), Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan

Director: Kenichiro ITAMI

Vice Director: Tetsuya HIGASHIYAMA

Principle Investigators (PIs): Kenichiro ITAMI, Tetsuya HIGASHIYAMA, Jeffrey W. BODE, Cathleen M. CRUDDEN, Stephan IRLE, Toshinori KINOSHITA, Takashi OOI, Keiko TORII, Shigehiro YAMAGUCHI, Takashi YOSHIMURA (five other PIs will be recruited in future)

International Advisory and Review Board: Yuan Tseh LEE, Kazuo SHINOZAKI, Osamu SHIMOMURA, Roald HOFFMANN, Ryoji NOYORI, Gerhard ERKER, Kazuyuki TATSUMI, Takao KONDO

Our goal is to develop innovative functional molecules that make a marked change in the form and nature of biological science and technology by taking full advantage of the cutting-edge molecular synthesis expertise of our chemistry PIs and intense interactions with our leading plant/animal biology PIs. Through this interaction, which is fundamental to the Institute, transformative bio-molecules will be synthesized that can (1) enhance biotic productivity and quality and (2) realize innovative bio-imaging. To ensure the advancement of these projects, we will (3) develop catalysts that enable incredibly efficient synthesis and molecule activation on demand.

We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral researchers who are willing to work with the 10 PIs in the Institute at Nagoya University.

We welcome researchers with strong preference for interdisciplinary work between chemistry and biology. Candidates should have a PhD in Chemistry, Biology, Theoretical Chemistry, or other related fields.

• Employment conditions:

(1) Salary: an annual income system is employed according to the rules of Nagoya University. The annual salary is 4,344,000 JPY. A setting-in allowance provided. Sickness insurance covered.

(2) Term: annually renewed, up to three years.

• Starting date: April 1, 2013

• Documents for Application:

(1) CV (including current address, phone number, e-mail)
(2) A one page summary of previous research contributions

(3) A personal statement of your interest in this Institute

(4) A list of academic works

(5) Reprints of publications (up to three)

(6) Names and contact information of two academic persons from whom references can be obtained.

All the materials should be prepared in English and sent by e-mail to wpi_postdoc@chem.nagoya-u.ac.jp.

Closing date for applications is 31 January 2013. Short-listed applicants will be invited to an on-line interview in February; the final interview will take place in March 2013.
