Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica (BRCAS; http://biodiv.sinica.edu.tw/), Taipei, Taiwan invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Research Fellow level, which is equivalent to “assistant professor”.

An applicant must possess a PhD, preferably with postdoctoral experience and a strong track record of scientific productivity. 

Academia Sinica is the top national research institute in Taiwan and provides good start-up funding and substantial internal support for new PIs. BRCAS consists of four divisions: Marine biodiversity and ecosystems, Terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystems, Molecular and genomic evolution, and Microbial diversity. BRCAS is not only equipped with modern research facilities, but also houses excellent zoological collections in the Biodiversity Research Museum and a marine station on Green Island, Taiwan.

The positions will be open until filled; however, the first review will be conducted in December 2018 or early 2019.
