Queenstown, Singapore Agency for Science, Technology and Research Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

We are looking for a motivated research fellow who is keen on studying how microbes contribute to eczema with infectious complications. Our lab is focused on leveraging new technologies to better study microbial populations and their impact on human health. We have extensive experience in metagenomic analysis in clinically or commercially important contexts such as uncovering distinct microbial communities in households affected by paediatric eczema (PMID: and revealing the microbial basis of body odour in teenagers (PMID: We are now focusing on applying various -omics capabilities to larger sized, longitudinal disease cohorts in both children and adults suffering from eczema, to understand how microbial pathways and biomarkers change with disease progression and treatment. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in a highly interdisciplinary environment, with unique access to next-generation sequencing technologies and longitudinal clinical samples. Primary responsibilities include analyzing metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, leading associated publications and presenting findings at conferences. Project findings will have direct applications to ongoing and new microbiome research projects in the lab, particularly in eczema management and disease stratification.

The Nagarajan Lab is based in the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) which is the national flagship program for genomic sciences in Singapore with a mission to use genomics to improve public health and national prosperity.
