Targeted Research Areas Recruitment--Updated Regularly
1. Faculty Positions in Mass Spectrometry-Related Fields
Research Area:
Tsinghua SIGS invites outstanding scholars to join a strategic initiative in mass spectrometry-related research. The program aims to advance the frontiers of the field through interdisciplinary innovation spanning analytical technologies, data science, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence (AI). Supported by state-of-the-art facilities in mass spectrometry, biomedical research, and high-performance computing, the program provides a dynamic and collaborative environment for cutting-edge research at the intersection of analytical science, biology, medicine, and artificial intelligence.
Applicants to this interdisciplinary program may select their home institute at Tsinghua SIGS based on their research interests, including but not limited to:

Prof. Ni, Email: ni.zhixu@sz.tsinghua.edu.cn
2. Postdoc/Research Positions in Life Quality Engineering Group
Research Area:
Human nutrition is now recognised as a dynamic process which affects our lives in a time-dependent way. Energy and mass balances are dynamic and are linked to our health situations including psychological states. Chemical engineering principles are crucially important in understanding these processes in space and in time. Treating the human body as a chemical factory is one way to reveal these processes. Candidates with a strong background in chemical reaction engineering, particularly in simulation, are encouraged to apply. Those who have studied bio-related topics, experimental works included, are preferred.
Positions: Postdoctoral Researcher
Contact: To apply, please email (xdchen@sz.tsinghua.edu.cn) a copy of your CV with a full list of your journal publications and your cover letter to Professor Xiao Dong Chen
