Principal Investigator Position in Bioimaging Informatics http://www.bii.a-star.edu.sg/career/research/iig.php The Imaging Informatics Division at the Bioinformatics Institute (BII), Agency of Science and Technology Research (A*STAR), Republic of Singapore, invites applications for a junior or senior principal-investigator (PI) position in the area of bioimage informatics. The successful candidate will establish and lead an independent research team in the division that focuses on the development of automated image analysis methods of cells/tissues and their application for the understanding of biomolecular mechanisms in a biologically or clinically relevant problem, for example in cancer biology, developmental biology, cell biology, systems biology or biomechanics. BII has a strong focus on internationally competitive fundamental research as well as on translational outreach towards clinical and industrial applications. The Imaging Informatics Division is multi-disciplinary with a wide range of expertise in computer vision and machine learning and its relevance with regard to developmental biology, systems biology and clinical medicine.

A-STAR 的话, 我觉得每个 institute 风格都差很多. 我个人觉得在 BII 还有 I2R 工作 都还满愉快的..虽然组织上 postdoc 是 under 某个 PI, 但其实你愿意的话, 也是可以自 己申请 grant 来作 (其实要在 A-STAR 升 PI 的话, 这个好像也是必备的经历). 不过要 在这里生存下去真的要不怕竞争就是了.. 离题了..有兴趣的请尽快跟我连络.. ※ 编辑: cybergenie 来自: 123.136.68.2 (05/04 17:59) 还好我已经 localized.. 机会稍大一点.. 今天得到一个新的讯息..A-STAR 的 postdoc 可以申请 Career Development Award 或 Project Grant, 通过的话就等於昇等为 PI.. 不过一年只有3+1个名额.. ※ 编辑: cybergenie 来自: 123.136.68.2 (05/07 17:08)
