Job Description:

As a Scientific Officer, you will be part of a dynamic team that focuses on strengthening Singapore's research capabilities, translational platforms, and expertise for detecting, responding to, and containing infectious disease threats.

The job requires leading the development and execution of culture and inactivation methods for viral pathogens within a BSL3 high containment laboratory as part of the PREPARE Biorepository Core. This involves experimental planning, evaluation, documentation, and coordination with the host BSL3 laboratory at NTU LKC School of Medicine.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and validate culture and viral inactivation methods for viral pathogens with pandemic potential in a high containment laboratory.
  • Manage and supervise PREPARE projects and staff in collaboration with the Biorepository Head.
  • Lead viral culture, patient sample processing, and related experiments supporting PREPARE projects.
  • Ensure proper documentation, quality control, tracking, and storage of viral isolates and patient samples.
Qualifications:

To be successful in this role, you will need to possess a Ph.D. in Microbiology, Life Sciences, Molecular Biology, Infectious Diseases, or equivalent. Relevant biosafety certification is desirable.

Additionally, you should have at least 5 years' experience in Virology, Infectious Disease, or high containment work. Familiarity with virology techniques such as virus and cell culture; experience with irradiator operation is a plus.

You must be willing to work in a high containment setting with high-risk pathogens and able to lead research independently and respond to emergencies outside regular hours. Strong teamwork and communication skills, with experience collaborating across labs and agencies, are also essential.

Benefits:

This mid-senior level position offers a full-time employment opportunity in a dynamic and supportive environment. You will have the chance to collaborate with a talented team of researchers and contribute to cutting-edge projects.

The role requires a strong ability to analyze complex data, document results properly, and prepare scientific papers and posters for publication and conferences.

Additional duties may include unlisted tasks as directed by supervisors and HOD.
