Assistant / Associate / Professor for iHuman Institute

The iHuman Institute at ShanghaiTech University is focused on integrating molecular, cellular, and whole organ/body data to build a dynamic atomic resolution model of the human body.  The institute has established a strong foundation in (1) Molecular: X-ray, NMR, EM (2) Cellular: super resolution, confocal, coherent diffraction and (3) Human scale: MRI and PET technology development and data accumulation. Biology, chemistry and computation are the glue that integrate the spatio-temporal data together.

Location

The iHuman Institute is physically located at ShanghaiTech University surrounded by incredible resources for researchers including the National Protein Science Center, Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), Shanghai Free Electron Laser, Chinese National Compound Library, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Fudan University, Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Zhangjiang Science City and more than 300 established biotech/pharma/computer science/telecommunications companies.
