Job Description:
Taiwan International Graduate Program (TIGP) PhD Studentship
Funded by the government, Academia Sinica (http://www.sinica.edu.tw/main_e.shtml) is the most prominent research institution in Taiwan. In 2002, in
collaboration with a consortium of prominent local research
universities, Academia Sinica established the Taiwan International
Graduate Program (TIGP) that offers the following 9 highly specialized
interdisciplinary PhD programs and a generous funding, a grant of
NT$32,000 (US$1050) per month, to each student for up to 3 years.
The PhD programs:
1. Chemical Biology and Molecular Biophysics (CBMB) Program : Under the leadership of the predecessor and the present program director, CBMB has become an excellent interdisciplinary program that stresses student
training in basic sciences at the interface between chemistry/physics
and biology. The 47 faculty members have expertise covering
biochemistry, bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, biophysics and
bioinformatics, carbohydrate synthesis, mass spectrometry, molecular
biology, organic and medicinal chemistry and structural biology. Core
courses provided are ‘Fundamental Chemical Biology and Molecular
Biophysics’, ‘Experimental Molecular Biophysics’, and ‘Advanced
Chemical Biology’.
http://www.sinica.edu.tw/~tigpcbmb/
2. Molecular Science and Technology (MST) Program focuses its research on the following topics: chemical dynamics,
dynamics in biological systems, dynamics in condensed media, linear and
nonlinear molecular spectroscopy and structures and dynamics of
clusters and nanoparticles. The spectroscopy section of this program
includes steady-state laser spectroscopy, magnetic resonance
spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and spectroscopy using
synchrotron light sources. The dynamics section consists of crossed
beam studies, photochemistry, and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy. Both
experimental and theoretical aspects of molecular spectroscopy and
dynamics are included in this program.
http://tigp.iams.sinica.edu.tw/MST.htm
3. Molecular and Biological Agricultural Sciences (MBAS) Program pursues basic and applied research that has the potential to lead to
new platform technologies or develop into novel systems and/or
industrial applications in biotechnology. The program focuses on
regional agricultural needs; for example, on subtropical crop or flower
plant systems, and major infectious diseases affecting pig/chicken
farms and warm water marine products and the subtropical herbal plant
systems of Chinese traditional medicine.
http://www.sinica.edu.tw/ibawww/mba/mba.html
4. Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) Program aims to provide solid training to Ph.D. students for a future career in
basic and applied research in modern biology. Research interests of the
40 faculty members of this program cover a broad range of topics
including cellular communication and signal transduction, nuclear
structure and function, developmental biology, neurobiology, plant
molecular biology, structural biology, biotechnology and human disease
models, pathology and therapy.

transfer, data analysis, biological information and biological feature
extraction, knowledge management using advanced computation
methodologies and computer science technology. The following four
research topics constitute the areas of concentration of this program:
computational biology, biological knowledge management, bioinformatics
applications and computational structural biology.
http://tigpbp.iis.sinica.edu.tw/

computational linguistics in Taiwan, and also the first academically
competitive computational linguistics program specializing in Chinese
Language Processing in the world.
http://clclp.ling.sinica.edu.tw/
9. Earth System Science (ESS) Program Earth System Science is the science that focuses on understanding the interdependence and
interconnections among the fundamental components of the Earth: the
lithosphere, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere,
through the interactions among chemical, physical, biological and
dynamical processes that extend over spatial scales from sub-micron to
the size of the planets, and over time scales of less than a second to
billions of years. The phenomena involved are frequently not only
intellectually challenging but also socio-economically relevant and
significant. We welcome young inquisitive minds to join us in exploring
these interesting phenomena in our newly established Ph.D. program in
