Join Us
We welcome applications from motivated students, postdocs, and research staff who are excited about microbial symbiosis, ecology, and evolution. Our group values every member of the team and strives to foster a collaborative, inclusive, and curiosity-driven environment where teamwork and creativity drive discovery.
Our research spans community ecology, microbial ecology, and evolutionary genomics, drawing inspiration from ecological and evolutionary theory, quantitative genetics, and systems biology. In practice, our work often combines multiple approaches:
Computations: population genomics, simulations, phylogenetic comparative methods
Laboratory experiments: plant cultivation, microbiological cultures, metabolic assays
Field work: transect and population sampling
While no specific wet- or dry-lab background is required, trainees in the lab are encouraged to develop a versatile skill set that spans both experimental and computational methods.
If you are interested in joining, please contact Dr. Chang-Yu Chang at changyuchang@gate.sinica.edu.tw with your CV, a short summary of research experience, and a brief statement of interests.
