R The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) trains doctors who put patients at the centre of their exemplary care. The School, which offers both undergraduate and graduate programmes, is named after local philanthropist Tan Sri Dato Lee Kong Chian. Established in 2010 by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in partnership with Imperial College London, LKCMedicine aims to be a model for innovative medical education and a centre for transformative research. The School’s primary clinical partner is the National Healthcare Group, a leader in public healthcare recognised for the quality of its medical expertise, facilities and teaching. The School is transitioning to an NTU medical school ahead of the 2028 successful conclusion of the NTU-Imperial partnership to set up a Joint Medical School. In August 2024, we welcomed our first intake of the NTU MBBS programme, that has been recently enhanced to include themes like precision medicine and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, with an expanded scope in the medical humanities. Graduates from the five-year undergraduate medical degree programme will have a strong understanding of the scientific basis of medicine, with an emphasis on technology, data science and the humanities.We are seeking **Research Assistant** to join the Neuroscience and AI Research (Nair) group, led by Nanyang Assistant Professor Aditya Nair, to study how machine learning models and neural circuits in the brain process states of emotion. The Nair group combines cutting-edge experimental tools with the development of new AI methods to understand and model complex brain data.The ideal applicant will have expertise in either machine learning/AI or systems neuroscience, particularly in analysis of large-scale neural data. The group places a strong emphasis on mentorship and nurturing talent, and the applicant can expect to engage in highly collaborative research.**Key Responsibilities:*** Analyze high-dimensional brain data, document results and carry out an independent research project.* Develop and apply new machine learning and computer vision methods such as large-language models and vision-language models for high-throughput analysis of video data.* Apply data-driven dynamical system modeling tools using specialized software packages to elucidate neural computations involved in emotion.* Assist in maintaining specialized software repositories created by the lab.* Prepare and contribute to grant applications and conference presentations. The candidate is also expected to write and draft research publications in top neuroscience and AI journals.* Attend a weekly lab meeting and journal club and present data and/or papers as necessary.**Key Competencies and Requirements:*** Bachelor’s degree in computer science, neuroscience, computational biology, psychology, life science or relevant fields. We also invite candidates with interdisciplinary backgrounds to apply.* Strong programming skills in Python and Matlab.* Familiarity with analyzing large-scale neural data (such as imaging datasets, electrophysiology datasets or video data) is highly desirable.* Proficiency in popular deep learning, computer vision and/or user-interface software frameworks (such as Pytorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, PyQt, Gradio etc).* The candidate is expected is have a strong numeric and analytical background.* Competent in information visualization. A working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator is a strong advantage.* Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment.* Entry level candidates are welcome to applyWe regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.Hiring Institution: LKCNTU is also home to world-class autonomous institutes – the National Institute of Education, S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Earth Observatory of Singapore, and Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering – and various leading research centres such as the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute (NEWRI) and Energy Research Institute @ NTU ( ).Ranked amongst the world’s top universities by QS, NTU has also been named the world’s top young university for the past seven years. The University’s main campus is frequently listed among the Top 15 most beautiful university campuses in the world and has 57 Green Mark-certified (equivalent to LEED-certified) buildings, of which 95% are certified Green Mark Platinum. Apart from its main campus, NTU also has a campus in Novena, Singapore’s healthcare district.Under the NTU Smart Campus vision, the University harnesses the power of digital technology and tech-enabled solutions to support better learning and living experiences, the discovery of new knowledge, and the sustainability of resources.For more information, visit
