Open positions at all levels.
August 14, 2014
We have open researcher positions at all levels: tenure-track researcher, postdoctoral researcher, PhD program, MS program, and undergraduate researcher program. The successful applicant will be affiliated with the Granick IBS center (http://softmatt.ibs.re.kr/html/cslm_en/) and get competitive supports both financially and scientifically. We are building a focused multi-national team within the center to work collaboratively on the science of soft and living matter. It will provide exceptional chances for cross-disciplinary collaborations with outstanding scientists internationally. Students will be primarily affiliated with UNIST and get support from the IBS center (through an additional affiliation) or the government-funded BK21+ program.
Please contact Hajin Kim (hajinkim@unist.ac.kr) with your CV and brief introduction (+ at least 2 references for postdoctoral positions).
