We cordially invite applications to join our experimental neuroscience team at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, a part of Nanyang Technological University.

Our team's mission is to understand how the brain works in both normal and diseased states.

We adopt an interdisciplinary and multi-level approach, using a large palette of cutting-edge techniques, ranging from working with in vivo mouse models, to optical imaging of brain activity, to cellular and molecular profiling. Our work is both fundamental and translational, and we aim to both advance fundamental understanding of brain functions as well as transforming new fundamental research findings into benefits for clinical application and the broader public.

You will carry out independent research work, collaborate with other both within the team and beyond, and communicate our findings to the scientific community in a professional manner through academic meetings and publications. You will be exposed to cutting-edge neuroscience approaches, and be a part of our collaborative and multi-disciplined team. Together we will learn, grow and make new discoveries of how the brain works. Come and join us.
