Founded in 1958, the Institute of Biophysics (IBP), Chinese Academy of Sciences is a national leading institution for biological research. It now has three national key laboratories, namely, biomacromolecules, epigenetic regulation and intervention, and cognitive science and mental health, and the Huairou Biointelligence Multidisciplinary Center.

We now invite young and established researchers to apply for several positions at the Principal Investigator level. IBP is interested in candidates in the fields of biochemistry, cell biology, structural biology, cognitive neuroscience, neurobiology, infection and immunobiology, non-coding nucleic acid biology, epigenetics and genomics, biomedical engineering, biological imaging. Applicants in the following areas are particularly encouraged:

State Key Laboratory of Biomacromolecules: Subcellular structure and dynamics, membrane biophysics, in situ structural biology, development and application of protein design methods, time-resolved dynamic studies of biomacromolecules, computational simulation of complex biomacromolecule systems, biomacromolecule drug development and target discovery.

State Key Laboratory of Epigenetic Regulation and Intervention: epigenome editing, epigenetic regulation of development and immunity, RNA imaging.

State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Science and Mental Health: neural mechanisms of cognitive functions (including perception, memory, decision-making, etc.) and emotions and instinctive behaviors, cross-species mechanisms of mental and neurological diseases, computational neuroscience, development and application of deep in vivo imaging technology, artificial intelligence image analysis, and development and application of brain imaging technology.

IBP offers internationally competitive salary and benefits, as well as starting funds.
