About iHuman

The iHuman Institute at ShanghaiTech University is focused on integrating molecular, cellular, tissue, and whole organ 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, single particle EM (2) Cellular: cryo-ET, super resolution and confocal LM (3) Human scale: MRI and PET technology development and data acquisition. Biology, chemistry and computation are the glue that integrate the spatio-temporal data together.

Recruitments in Cryo-Electron Tomography (Cryo-ET)

The iHuman Institute is in the process of establishing a cutting-edge Cryo-ET group under the direction of Professor Wolfgang Baumeister to complement the existing infrastructures. It can offer a state-of-the-art infrastructure. Tenure-track faculty recruitment is focused on emerging leaders of the Cryo-EM field working together towards the very ambitious goals of iHuman. Several Postdoc positions are available for ambitious young scientists with some background in Cryo-EM, ideally but not necessarily in Cryo-ET. We also encourage applications from scientists interested in methods development including, but not limited to image processing/analysis. Applications should include a research statement, CV and list of publications. We have a strong culture of collaboration between disciplines and groups to decipher the mysteries of human health and disease through imaging and visualization tools. 

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.
