Singapore NTU (Nanyang Technology University- Main Office-HR) Full time
A Research Fellow position is available in the laboratory of Assistant Professor Kazuyuki Kasahara at the Novena campus of the LKCMedicine.

Gut microbiota influences many areas of human health from immunity to energy metabolism and host physiology. The goal of our research group is to understand how bacterial metabolism, diet-microbe, and microbe-microbe interactions influence cardiometabolic disease using experimental approaches. The RF/SRF will lead a project, recently funded by MOE, that explores the protective mechanisms of butyrate-producing bacteria against atherosclerosis. This research will primarily involve molecular biology and pathophysiology using genetically modified mice.

Responsibilities:
  • Carry out an independent research project and collaborate with other researchers.
  • Supervise junior members of the lab, including PhD students and undergraduate interns.
  • Keep a log of lab material and conduct safety management and data management as necessary.
  • Present research at lab meetings and national/international conferences.


Requirements:
  • PhD in Biological Sciences or equivalent in any relevant field of life sciences with a demonstrated record of excellent problem-solving skills.
  • Years of experience in disease-oriented molecular biology (preferably atherosclerosis) using mouse models.
  • Deep knowledge and interest in microbiome biology.
  • Strong research experience and relevant skill sets in biomedical sciences (molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, animal handling, etc).
  • Experience in mentoring and training junior researchers and students.
  • Highly self-motivated and independent researcher with enthusiasm for research
  • Strong team player with excellent organizational, communication and time management skills
  • Strong motivation and leadership in pursuing challenging scientific questions.
  • Be able to work independently and collaborate efficiently in a highly diverse and interdisciplinary team.
