ISCE2 is seeking a research engineer for the development of a new nature-identical pesticide-free crop protection strategy, specifically targeted for treatment of fungal diseases in Singapore urban farms. This is a multidisciplinary project funded by SFA’s Singapore Food Story R&D programme, with team members from ISCE2, Nparks, NTU and NUS.

The position involves glucosinolate synthesis, optimization and scaleup work, already demonstrated at 20 gram scale for multiple targets. Up to 100 gram scale synthesis of glucosinolates will be performed to supply material to project team members for formulation, toxicity, safety and efficacy testing. Development of new and improved synthetic procedures for further glucosinolates of interest, starting from optimization at small scale (< 1 g) and subsequent scaleup to 10-100 gram batches if feasible.
- Synthesis of glucosinolates (up to 100 gram scale)
- Route and reaction optimization, development and troubleshooting
- Gram-scale purifications (crystallisation, distillation etc.)
- Analysis and characterization using NMR, IR, HRMS, HPLC etc.
- Data processing
- Presentation at regular project meetings
- Review of relevant literature
- Support the preparation of manuscripts
- Lab management and housekeeping

**Job Requirements**:

- Knowledge in organic synthesis/organic chemistry
- Hands-on experience in organic synthesis
- Experience in chemical analysis by NMR, IR, HRMS etc.
- Good oral and written communication skills
- Attention to detail
- Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively in a multi-cultural team environment
- Good attitude, planning and time management skills
- Accountable and reliable
- Computer literacy: Microsoft Office (Excel, Powerpoint, Word)
