Job Title:

We are seeking a Research Assistant to support an innovative project on the health effects of microplastics.

About the Role:

This project investigates the impact of microplastic exposure on gut health, inflammation, and microbiome changes using animal models. The role involves conducting experiments to assess the effects of microplastics on gut permeability, inflammation, and microbiome composition.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Conduct experiments to evaluate the impact of microplastics on gut health, including permeability, inflammation, and microbiome composition.
  • Analyze biological samples, including stool, blood, and tissue for microbiome, histological, and inflammatory marker assessments.
  • Perform experiments to evaluate gut barrier integrity and inflammatory responses.
  • Maintain accurate experimental records and ensure compliance with IACUC protocols.
  • Prepare and submit IACUC applications and amendments as required.
  • Support data analysis, report writing, and preparation of manuscripts for publication.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, or a related field. 1–2 years of experience in animal models, microbiome research, or gastrointestinal health studies is preferred.
  • Expertise in animal handling and experimentation.
  • Familiarity with techniques to assess gut permeability (e.g., FITC-dextran assay) and inflammation (e.g., cytokine assays).
  • Experience in microbiome analysis, including DNA extraction and sequencing.
  • Knowledge of histological analysis and tissue staining techniques.
  • Strong organizational and analytical skills with the ability to work independently.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Working with Us:

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is a leading university in Singapore that offers a dynamic and supportive work environment. As a member of our team, you will have opportunities to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, present your findings at internal meetings, and contribute to cutting-edge research projects.
