Applicants should have a PhD degree or above, preferably in Biological Science, Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences, Biophysics or related disciplines. An ideal candidate should have excellent experimentation and communication skills. Preference will be given to applicants with a strong background in at least some of the listed fields: molecular biology, protein purification, cell biology, genome engineering, neuroscience, structural biology, or fluorescence microscopy. Experience in cell imaging or single-molecule fluorescence microscopy will be a plus.
The appointee should be organized, self-motivated, highly committed, and be able to work independently as well as in a team. He/She will participate in a research project investigating the biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, and cell biology underlying how microtubules form diverse cellular architectures. He/She will work in Prof. Jeff Ti’s lab, which employs single-molecule fluorescence and cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to dissect the molecular basis that confers diverse human tubulin isotypes' unique and essential functions. Enquiries about the duties of the post should be sent to Prof. Ti at jeffti@hku.hk.
A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits.

Contact listed in the advert
Some positions — especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland — are filled by writing directly to the supervisor rather than through an online form. These addresses were taken from the advert text, so check them against the official listing before you write.
A cold email to a supervisor is the highest-leverage thing you can send — and the easiest to get wrong. Ask us to look at yours before you hit send.
