Institute for Basic Science (IBS) is a Korean government-funded research
institute founded in November 2011 with the purpose of driving forward the
development of basic science in Korea through large-scale, long-term, group
research. IBS has so far established 30 Research Centers in mathematics,
physics, chemistry, life sciences, Earth science, and interdisciplinary
sciences. The selection of chief investigators, who will operate a research
group within existing Pioneer Research Centers, will be limited to a maximum of
two. We look forward to receiving many applications from excellent scientists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
