Singapore National University of Singapore Full time
Job Description

The Mechanobiology Institute, Singapore, is a multidisciplinary institute committed to developing new paradigms for biomedical research by focusing on the quantitative analysis of dynamic functional processes. Through quantitative biophysical approaches, we address major problems in biomedical sciences, including pathogenesis (from bacterial to cancer), tissue regeneration, and function.

The Collective Cell Dynamics in Mammalian Development and Reproduction lab at the Mechanobiology Institute, NUS seeks a highly motivated, self-initiated individual to join as a postdoctoral research fellow. The lab is interested in how collective cell behavior emerges and links with biological functions in development and reproduction. It focuses on cellular mechano-chemical coupling regulations in mammalian tissues and explore design principles of multicellular dynamical systems.

The origin and roles of sperm cell dynamics in the reproductive tracts remain less understood despite their physiological importance. To better understand, the lab has been used intravital microscopy to study murine reproductive tracts, enabling us to observe the cellular and molecular activities in living mouse tissues. In this particular project, we will explore the fundamental mechanisms of how collective sperm dynamics emerge and link with reproductive functions, diseases, and aging by combining intravital imaging using a multiphoton microscope, genetic mouse models, and microfluidic devices.

We are looking for a candidate who is interested in applying interdisciplinary approaches to study the dynamic interplay between sperm and somatic cells in male reproductive tracts to join the lab. Applicants should possess strong leadership qualities, a passion for conducting research, and a creative approach to problem-solving. They should also be able to work both independently and as part of a diverse team.

Qualifications

  • APhD in life sciences or related fields
  • Fundamental knowledge and skills in molecular biology, cell and tissue culture, and microscopy
  • Experience with mouse experiments, tissue histology, omics analysis, and/or bioinformatics analysis can be beneficial, though not a requirement
  • Excellent communication skills and a team player

Salary and benefits are commensurable to educational qualifications and working experience of the candidates.

To apply

Interested applicants are requested to compile the following into a single PDF file: (1) a cover letter stating why they are interested in the position (2) a full CV with a list of publications (3) the names and contacts of two academic references (no letters of recommendation need to be submitted at this point in time), to be uploaded as their CV.

General inquiries or questions about this position should be submitted via email to: with the subject label 'Postdoc CCD-MBI-NUS-2024a'.

We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
