IPS-CAS - Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center
Joint Research Center for Infection and Immunity
Postdoctoral Training Opportunity
1. Joint Post-doctoral Training Program
IPS-CAS and Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center – Joint Research Center
in Infection and Immunity have launched a postdoctoral training program. Now this program
opens to young scientists from all over the world.
This program focuses on translational medicine, and any candidates who have
experience or expertise in infection and immunology, or its related fields, are encouraged to
apply for. Our program is featured by dual-mentor system from both the Institute and the
Medical Center, post-doctor research fund (up to 0.5 million RMB), and multiple training
sites with an emphasis on translational studies from basic bench work to clinical application.
Candidates should have a recent PhD or its related degree, self-motivated, fluent in either
Chinese or English, with a tracking record of successful graduate training. People from any
minority are also encouraged to apply for. The salary and benefit will be highly competitive,
dependent on the qualification. However, once successfully enrolled, and minimal annual
income should be no less than 220.000 RMB (before tax), in addition to attractive incentive
awards.
The following topics or disciplines are our top priority, although other research fields can
also receive considerations.

Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center
Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center was established in 2006, integrating
the former Guangzhou Children’s Hospital and former Guangzhou Maternity Health Care
Center. Covering an area of 37 thousand square meters and a built-up area of 130 thousand
square meters, the hospital is equipped with 1,500 beds. Among the 2,603 staff, 282 is
holding senior titles, 573 has received master level education or above and 47 of them are
MD or MS mentors. The Hospital has greatly enhanced its capacity building. By now, two
specialties have been honorably recognized as National Key Clinical Specialties entitled by
the Ministry of Health, six as Guangdong Key Clinical Disciplines or Specialties, and one as
Key Medical Laboratories listed in Guangdong “12th Five Year Plan”. It has been authorized
to set up National Post-Doctoral Research Station. Affiliated Guangzhou Medical University,
it also serves as a teaching, training and internship base for Sun Yat-sen University, South
China Medical University and Jinan University Graduate School.
The hospital has evolved to be a high-level, comprehensive and multi-disciplinary health
care institution, integrating the function of medical and healthcare, prevention, research
and education.
b.Institut Pasteur of Shanghai – Chinese Academy of Sciences
Institut Pasteur of Shanghai – Chinese Academy of Sciences (IPS-CAS) is a scientific
research institute founded in 2004 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shanghai
Municipal Government, and the Institut Pasteur in Paris. It is a member of the Institut
Pasteur International Network (IPIN), the WHO and other NGOs. IPS-CAS creates synergies
between the Institut Pasteur and CAS networks, leveraging all the assets of Shanghai as one
of Asia’s leading business and technology hubs. Our scientists are engaged in a broad range
of infectious disease research programs ranging from viral hepatitis, HIV, respiratory
infections to virus-induced cancers.
IPS-CAS is in an ideal strategic position to conduct research and development in life
sciences in China. Together with its academic and industry partners, IPS’s goal is to develop
product candidates in the field of diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics.
