We are looking to recruit a research fellow with a strong background and interest in human disease genetics and/or neuroscience, with strong inclination for a career in academia or industry. This individual is expected to:

  • Lead key projects in the laboratory involving in vitro modelling of human neurological diseases using human pluripotent stem cells.
  • Perform experiments on cell culture, molecular cloning, gene editing, immunostaining, confocal microscopy etc
  • Oversee statistical and bioinformatics analyses of genomics and transcriptomics data
  • Work closely with research assistants/associates, students and collaborators to evaluate, troubleshoot and optimize experimental protocols
  • Maintain frequent contact and communication with collaborators
  • Keep up to date with latest research in the field of genetics and neuroscience
  • Participate actively in discussions, writing manuscripts and grant applications.

Our laboratory is based at Clinical Sciences Building in the LKCMedicine Novena campus.

Background and qualifications:

  • A PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences (preferably related to the field of genetics, stem cell/developmental biology and/or neuroscience) from an internationally renowned university.
  • Prior research experience in molecular biology, cell biology, neuroscience, single-cell genomics/transcriptomics, or statistics and bioinformatics
  • Prior experience in CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, molecular cloning and stem cell research will be an advantage.
  • Some knowledge in coding (perl, C/C++, java, python, R etc) will also be an advantage
  • Self-motivated, independent and well-organized, with excellent technical and communication skills
  • First-authored publications in reputable biomedical journals will be a major advantage.
