Singapore A*STAR Agency for Science, Technology and Research Full time

A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs (A*STAR ID Labs) is seeking for a Research Fellow to join us in our mission to be a leading centre of infectious diseases research. A*STAR ID Labs aims to develop a cohesive A*STAR response to drive and deliver translational infectious diseases research to better health and economic outcomes.

This is a unique opportunity for a very independent computational scientist to develop their own research program, using the multitude of virus study models from our wet bench scientists as their source of data. Since we are primarily a wet lab, the position requires a high degree of autonomy, but there will be close interactions with other mathematicians and bioinformatics collaborators that have helped us develop tools throughout our work.

To implement existing computational tools, developed by our lab and collaborators, in our new lab and interface with wet bench biologists
To develop new tools to study virus population dynamics and an independent research program, using the wet bench
To use outputs of our basic research to generate innovative antiviral approaches that can foster new translational collaborations in clinical settings, in industry, in public health and surveillance or vector control.
To help train graduate students in the lab
