Hop on. Let's Change the World.
We are always looking for passionate and driven individuals to join our team. Whether your background is in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, or Mechanical Engineering, if you are excited about pushing the boundaries of life sciences and bioimaging, you belong here.
Why Join Us?
Tailored Academic Pathways (Choose Your Coursework):
Our PI is affiliated with three distinct programs at DGIST: the Department of New Biology, the Department of Biomedical Science & Engineering, and the Quantum Information Science Major. This means you have the complete freedom to choose the degree program and coursework that best fit your background. Are you a physics or engineering major worried about taking intense molecular biology courses? Don't worry—you can choose a curriculum perfectly tailored to your strengths!
Strong Financial Support & Stability:
Our lab is fully backed by major, long-term grants including the Samsung Science and Technology Foundation and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) grants. We provide highly competitive stipends and stable support for your research.
Cutting-Edge Infrastructure:
You will have hands-on access to top-tier super-resolution microscopes and a rich environment to build the next-generation optical paradigms.
Global Networking:
We actively support participation in international conferences and foster global collaborations (e.g., with researchers in France, Sweden, and the US).
Open Positions:
Graduate Students (M.S., Ph.D., and Integrated):
No matter your starting point, we provide step-by-step training to help you grow into an independent researcher. We welcome diverse ideas and backgrounds.
Post-doctoral Researchers:
We offer an excellent environment to lead independent projects with high-impact potential (Nature Plants, etc.) and expand your academic career.
Undergraduate Interns / Research Participants:
Want to taste real, cutting-edge science? We strongly encourage undergrads to join us for summer/winter internships or continuous research participation. You will be closely mentored by our senior members.
How to Apply:
Do not hesitate to reach out! You don't need a perfect resume to start a conversation.
If you are interested, please send an email to jclee@dgist.ac.kr with your brief CV and a short introduction about your interests.
(Informal coffee chats, Zoom meetings, or lab tours are always welcome!)
