Research Fellow (Synthetic Biology)

A research fellow position is available in the DNA and RNA Editing (DaRE) Laboratory at the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) in NTU. The laboratory, led by Assoc Prof Tan Meng How, works on developing and applying cutting edge biotechnologies, including high throughput next generation (NGS) sequencing, CRISPR-Cas, and deep learning methodologies to read, write, and decipher the genome and transcriptome of living cells. The research fellow will be involved in efforts to develop and/or apply new tools and methodologies to push the boundaries of genomics and synthetic biology.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and/or apply new genome and transcriptome engineering technologies
• Perform functional genomics assays and other wet-lab experiments
• Analyze experimental data and prepare reports and presentations
• Write and publish high-impact journal papers
• Guide graduate and undergraduate students

Job Requirements:

• A PhD degree from a reputable university in science or engineering
• Strong research experience in biological sciences, bioengineering, biotechnology, or a related discipline (such as genomics, genetics, computational biology, cell biology, molecular biology, synthetic biology etc.)
• Outstanding publication track record, preferably with a first-author paper in a high-impact journal
• Demonstrated ability to work well in a team
• Good working knowledge of the latest genomic technologies
