We are seeking a Research Assistant/Associate to contribute to groundbreaking research on early onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), Nanyang Technological University Singapore. The project, under the Centre for Microbiome Medicine, investigates EOCRC focusing on factors such as childhood obesity, early life antibiotic use, ultra-processed foods, and microbiome changes. The research team also develops machine learning models to predict cancer risk from longitudinal medical data.

Key Responsibilities
  • Perform experiments on animal models to study the impact of childhood exposures (e.g., antibiotics, diet, microplastics) on microbiome changes and cancer development.
  • Collect and analyze biological samples, including microbiome and histological assessments.
  • Support the development and validation of machine learning models for cancer-risk prediction using electronic health records (EHR).
  • Prepare and submit IACUC protocols for animal research.
  • Maintain accurate and detailed experimental records.
  • Assist with data interpretation, report writing, and manuscript preparation for publication.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including bioinformatics and clinical researchers.
  • Present research findings at internal and external meetings.
Qualifications and Skills
  • Bachelor's degree (for Assistant) and Master's degree (for Associate) in Biological Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, or a related field.
  • 1-2 years of experience in animal work, microbiome research, or cancer biology is preferred.
  • Proficiency in animal handling, experimentation, and histological analysis.
  • Familiarity with microbiome analysis techniques and bioinformatics tools.
  • Experience with IACUC submissions and compliance with animal research protocols.
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • Entry-level candidates with relevant skills are encouraged to apply.
