Shanghai Center for Systems Biomedicine, established as an interdisciplinary research institute on the main campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, is ultimately aiming at the treatment and prevention of major human diseases. The Center has its own research building of over 22,000 square meters to house its research laboratories, teaching facilities and major instrumentations. 

The center focuses on converging methodologies, from biology to physics and engineering with an emphasis on integrating basic research and clinical applications as well as enabling technologies critical to Omics research and personalized precision medicine. The Center also supports an array of biomedical research facilities, such as bioinformatics, high throughput technology, molecular imaging, transgenic animals, tissue banks, single cell facilities and more. Not only are these facilities an essential component of the Center, but are also open platforms to initiate cross campus collaborations.

The Center adopts an open laboratory structure to favor a highly cohesive and cooperative research culture. With the support from the university, the Center is seeking highly motivated and highly qualified young individuals to fill several group leader positions at the rank of associated or full professor, although lower rank applications will also be considered under exceptional cases. The Center offers highly competitive annual salary and a generous start package with sufficient research space, research staff and major instrumentation.
