What The Role Is

Scientist (Synthetic Biology)

What You Will Be Working On

  • Develop and optimize metabolic pathways
  • Design and engineer strains for specialty chemical production
  • Design and engineer enzymes for improved activity, stability or specificity (e.g. under conditions of high temperature, extreme pH, or organic solvents)
  • Develop innovative tools in metabolic engineering, pathway engineering, and strain and enzyme engineering
  • Design and optimize biosynthetic pathways and microbial strains for the production of value-added chemicals
  • Oversee the design and execution of experiments, ensuring clear communication of results to teams
  • Mentor students on projects and collaborate cross-functionally with colleagues, project teams, and stakeholders
  • Stay abreast of the latest scientific literature, methodologies, and industry trends to bring forward new ideas and improvements to R&D practices
  • Maintain detailed documentation and stay updated on new developments through ongoing professional learning
  • Ensure a safe and compliant work environment by following safety protocols and regulations
  • Support the creation of an education and training framework to establish Singapore as a synthetic biology hub with a skilled workforce


What We Are Looking For

  • Qualification in industrial biotechnology, chemical engineering, bioengineering, biochemistry, or relevant field
  • Strong research background in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology
  • Proficiency in genomic editing, bioprocess engineering and fermentation
  • Good critical-thinking and problem-solving skills with attention to details
  • Excellent written and oral presentation skills to deliver project proposals (scientific & non-scientific), SOPs, reports, and publications
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate with others
