Tsinghua University has made a strong commitment to building an immunology program of international distinction and is recruiting tenure-track faculty members in the broad immunology field. New laboratories will be located in brand-new research buildings that feature state-of-the-art flow cytometers, imaging facilities (multi-photon, TIRF, and atomic force microscopies), proteomics core, and small animal vivarium that will contain germ-free mice. Research interests of our current immunology faculty include: dendritic cell and lymphocyte development, innate sensing and activation, helper T cell differentiation, lymphocyte signaling, immune imaging, NK cell biology, tumor immunity, and cytokine biology.

We invite application from outstanding immunologists who aim to conduct systematic, innovative research. Non-Chinese native candidates are particularly encouraged to apply (English is an official language in scientific discussions). Candidates should have a demonstrated record of excellence in areas including but not limited to inflammasome, innate lymphocytes, immune memory, human and clinical immunology, microbiota and mucosal immunity, and animal disease models. Successful applicants will be offered generous start-up packages and internationally competitive benefits.

Located in the northwestern suburb of Beijing, Tsinghua University was established in 1911 on the beautiful site of “Qing Hua Yuan (Tsinghua Garden)”, a part of the former imperial garden complex including the legendary Summer Palace. Recognized as one of the best research institutions in China, Tsinghua is striving to develop a world-class research community in biomedical sciences.
