Join Us

We are always looking for talented and motivated researchers to join our team!

Open Positions

We currently have openings for:

• PhD Students (joint training)
• Postdoctoral Fellows
• Research Assistants

Individuals with a background in bioinformatics, chemometrics, computer science, and/or machine learning are encouraged to apply. While familiarity or interest in mass spectrometry would be advantageous, it is not a prerequisite.

What We Offer

• Cutting-edge research: Work at the intersection of AI and mass spectrometry-based omics analysis, developing novel algorithms and tools for deciphering the structure and function of unknown small molecules.
• Strong computational resources: Access to one of the largest computing platforms in agricultural research (CPU: 2 PFlops, GPU: 10 PFlops@FP16, Storage: 38 PB).
• Collaborative environment: Close collaborations with leading research groups in metabolomics, proteomics, and drug discovery.
• Publication opportunities: Our group consistently publishes in top-tier journals including Nature Communications, Cell Chemical Biology, Analytical Chemistry, and Briefings in Bioinformatics.

Research Areas

1. Development of chemoinformatics and AI algorithms for plant metabolomics
2. Algorithm and software development for plant and crop metabolomics mass spectrometry data analysis
3. Structure annotation and functional analysis of unknown small molecule metabolites
4. High-throughput drug target discovery using thermal proteomics and chemometrics
5. Construction of general-purpose mass spectrometry large language models
