  • Laboratory Executive (15 May 2012)
  • Postdoctoral Position (20 Apr 2012)
  • Research Assistants (27 Mar 2012)
  • Research Fellow (19 Mar 2012)
  • Allergy and Molecular Immunology Laboratory, Department of Biological Sciences, NUS.
    The laboratory  focuses on the understanding the factors and mechanisms affecting allergic diseases. We are currently taking a genetic approach to uncover the potential pathways and interactions influencing the pathogenesis and development of these complex diseases. This includes large-scale genome wide association studies, functional candidate gene evaluations, gene-gene (epistasis) and gene-environment studies.

    Laboratory executive
    We are seeking a Laboratory Executive to join the Allergy and Molecular Immunology Laboratory. Open to all diploma or degree holders. Prior experience in research work will be needed. Preferable with experience in molecular biology. Candidate will be responsible for supporting the staffs and students in laboratory work and routine administrative work.

    One postdoctoral position is available to work on a project that involves control of tissue migration. The successful candidate should hold a PhD in molecular biology, cell biology, bioengineering or related fields. Experience in molecular biology, cell culture, immunofluorescence microscopy, and live cell microscopy are highly desirable. Interest in the fields of mechanobiology and tissue dynamics is required. Strong motivation, independence and team spirit are mandatory.

    Applications should include a cover letter and a full CV/resume, together with names and contact information of three references. Please submit applications via email to Professor Paul Matsudaira at dbsmpt@nus.edu.sg


    Research Assistants
    Two research assistant positions are available for projects involving environmental molecular biology, ‘omics’ platform and the use of fish as experimental organism. The positions are renewable up to 2-3 years depending on the performance of the candidate. The successful candidates will carry out fish experiments, and will need to employ molecular biology techniques and ‘omics’ platforms such as next generation sequencing, microarray and metabolomics.

    Requirement: Bachelor’s/ Master’s degree in biology (or equivalent) with experience in basic molecular biology techniques. Although having previous laboratory working experience is an advantage, fresh graduates with interest in research are welcome to apply.

    Salary and benefits will be commensurable to qualifications and working experience. Interested individuals can send their applications, academic transcripts, curriculum vitae and two reference letters to the email address below.

    Research Fellow (Post-Doc) Position Available Immediately
    A NRF funded Research Fellow (RF) position is available immediately in the lab of Dr. Ruowen GE at the Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore. The research project is to identify novel host factors critical for fish viral diseases using a gene trap forward genetic screen based on haploid fish embryonic stem cells. The potential discovery of novel genes important for fish viral disease-resistance and its tremendous value to aquaculture is of paramount importance not only for new scientific knowledge, but also for developing Singapore’s modern aquaculture industry. The RF will have the opportunity to work in a large research team and interact with other PIs and RFs involved in the main NRF funded project.

    The successful candidate should hold a Ph.D. degree and prior experiences in the area of life sciences including molecular cell biology, virology, immunology, genetics, or other related fields. Both fresh PhD and experienced PhD researcher will be considered as long as enthusiasm and strong motivation in scientific research is demonstrated. Only shortlisted candidates will be interviewed.

    Applications should include a cover letter and a full CV/resume, together with names and contact information of three references. Please submit applications via email to: Professor Ruowen Ge (Department of Biological Sciences, NUS) dbsgerw@nus.edu.sg
