Singapore National University of Singapore Full time

Job Title:
Research Fellow, Plant Genetic Engineering
Job Description
Genetic engineering of plants promises to provide sustainable solutions for food security and climate change mitigation. Current genetic engineering technologies using Agrobacterium, viruses and nanoparticles through syringe injection and biolistic bombardment suffer from limitations including narrow ranges of host species, low transformation efficiencies, strict restrictions on cargo types and sizes, tissue damage and unwanted transgene integration into plant genome. A major challenge to deliver exogenous material into plants is the cell wall barrier. The Tay lab will be hiring a research fellow to develop nanomaterials for plant genetic engineering, with the goal to produce plants with enhanced traits such as higher yield and weather-resistant.
Responsibilities include conducting experiments and writing manuscripts.
Qualifications
PhD in materials engineering or plant biology; 2 first author papers; ideally, experience in in vivo and in vitro plant work.
