  • The School of Computational Sciences in the Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS) invites applications for KIAS assistant professor and research fellow positions in the following areas.
    • Life Science
      • This position is for a Physicist/Chemist/Biologist trained in molecular modeling and computer simulation for 3D structure prediction of proteins including threading and homology modeling. Applications from scientists without direct experience in protein structure prediction are also encouraged. Good background and experience in statistical physics (preferably polymer systems) and skills in solving complex problems are required.
    • Computational Materials Science
      • In molecular devices and nanoelectronics the Schottky contacts associated with nano interfaces are probed, employing ab initio methodologies. Also the reliability issues in nano-scale flash memory devices are examined, using simulation techniques.
    • Information Science
      • This position is for physicists or mathematicians working on quantum cryptography and/or quantum computing.
    • Theoretical and Computational Biophysics"
      • The primary goal of this field is to understand biological phenomena at the molecular level by using molecular simulations and theoretical tools based on theoretical chemistry and soft condensed matter physics. The position is for theoretical chemists or biological physicists working on molecular biophysics, statistical biophysics, and computational biology.
  • Applicants are expected to have demonstrated exceptional research potential, including major contributions beyond or through the doctoral dissertation. The annual salary approximately starts from 42,000,000 Korean Won (approximately US$40,000 at current exchange rate) for Research Fellow and 50,000,000 Korean Won (approximately US$47,600 at current exchange rate) for KIAS Assistant Professor, respectively. In addition, research funds of 10,000,000 Korean Won (approximately US$9,500 at current exchange rate) for research fellow and 15,000,000 Korean Won (approximately US$14,000 at current exchange rate) for KIAS Assistant Professor will be provided per year. The initial appointment for the position is for two years and is renewable for up to two additional years, depending on research performance and the needs of the research program at KIAS.
     
  • Application must include a curriculum vita with a cover letter, a list of publications, a summary of research plan, and three letters of recommendation, and should be mailed to:
  • • • Mr. Chan Yong Lee 
      • Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS)
      • 85 Hoegiro (Cheongnyangni-dong 207-43), Dongdaemun-gu,
      • Seoul 130-722, Republic of Korea

¡Ø All KIAS employees are eligible for the retirement saving plan by Scientists & Engineers Mutual Aid Association (SEMA).
