Singapore NTU (Nanyang Technology University- Main Office-HR) Full time
The Hwei-Ee Tan lab studies the fundamental biological basis of "gut-feelings", how bacteria in the gut signals to the host to influence physiology and behaviour. Using mice as a mammalian model, the lab investigates how diet and microbiome factors modulates host phenotypes (e.g. food reward, anxiety behaviours, etc). Besides supporting curiosity-driven basic research on the gut-brain axis, his lab is also studying the brain-gut axis, to uncover host-microbe interactions. His lab's work is multidisciplinary, the research scope covers diverse skills from molecular biology to systems neuroscience, physiology and behaviour. With top-tier research support from National Research Foundation Singapore, Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (NARSAD), etc, his lab at NTU LKCMedicine is actively recruiting talented postdoctoral research fellows, research assistants, and interns, and also open to sponsoring motivated PhD/Masters students. Prior to submitting their application, postdoctoral applicants are strongly encouraged to also look up the lab's website and email the PI with a CV/resume and a cover letter articulating their scientific ambition.

Key Responsibilities:
  • The postdoctoral applicant must demonstrate commitment to co-create impactful discoveries in the microbiome gut-brain neuroscience field with us.
  • In addition to being exceptionally motivated, having core skills for animal and lab work, and willing to work in our team and help with essential lab duties.
  • The candidate must have experience and specialized expertise in multiphoton/ 2-photon in vivo calcium imaging and data analysis, or in gnotobiotic studies and microbiome analysis/bioinformatics.


Key Competencies/Requirements:
  • Hold a doctoral (PhD) degree in neuroscience or relevant disciplines with strong publication track record
  • Lead impactful work within the lab's research theme on the microbiome gut brain neuroscience
  • Exhibit proficiency in mice/rodent handling, optogenetics and behaviours, animal surgery and dissection
  • Demonstrate experience and specialized expertise in multiphoton/ 2-photon in vivo calcium imaging and data analysis, or in gnotobiotic studies and microbiome analysis/bioinformatics
  • Be highly motivated and conscientious, able to work independently and with a team, and willing to teach, learn, and assist with essential lab duties
