The emerging field of Mathematical AI for Molecular Sciences is proposed for molecular representation, featurization, and learning. We are interested in developing physical models using graphs, simplicial complexes for molecular representation, featurization, and learning, particularly in the context of nucleic acids such as DNA, G-quadruplex. The results from the research will provide key insights to understanding the structure-function relationships of biomolecules.

The Yong research group is looking for a highly motivated and qualified Research Fellow with the ambition of producing high quality research that can be published in high impact journals. The Research Fellow will be involved in research design, data analysis, model development, numerical simulations, and report/paper writing.

The Research Fellow is expected to perform state of the art numerical simulations using computing resources from National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore. The incumbent has freedom to design the nature and type of deep learning simulations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Utilize recently developed mathematical tools from algebraic topology, combinatorial topology, computational topology, and differential geometry (e.g., Betti numbers, Hodge-Laplacian, discrete Ricci curvature) to characterize and model biopolymers such as DNA and RNA.
• Develop simplicial models for molecular representation, featurization, and learning, particularly in the context of nucleic acids such as DNA, G-quadruple, to better understand form-function relationship in biology.
• Use molecular modeling and AI (using e.g., the SMILES protocol) to quickly and accurately assess compounds with Essential Physicochemical Properties for drug design and development.
• Translate research findings into practical applications in pharmacology.
• Perform numerical simulations on National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore.

Job Requirements:

• PhD from a reputable university, preferably in physical sciences or STEM related field.
• Good publication track record.
• Strong background in artificial intelligence and biochemistry with prior experience in numerical simulations.
• Expertise in numerical simulations, and the ability to code and run simulations on deep learning workstation/supercomputers clusters.
• Able to think and work independently and have the aspiration to perform high quality research that can be published in high impact journals

Nanyang Environment and Water Research Institute, NTU is looking for a Research Fellow with expertise in chemical reactors to develop an improved prototype for a thermocatalytic process.

The project is funded by National Environment Agency, Singapore to address one of the largest problems in waste management – the problem of plastic waste pollution. A significant fraction of plastic waste has substandard quality for mechanical and chemical recycling even after sorting and cleaning. The Research Fellow will work on the design, fabrication and testing of a chemical reactor system that will use pyrolysis-chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology for converting these plastic waste streams (specifically, contaminated and rejected plastics) into multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and hydrogen. The role of Research Fellow is to design a system prototype that can effectively mitigate the impact of impurities from diverse plastic waste streams on production outputs and can be operated in a continuous mode.

Key Responsibilities:

The candidate will be undertaking full research work and administrative duties during the term of employment within the following areas:

• Experimental work on plastic waste conversion into carbon nanotubes and hydrogen.
• Design, procurement, installation and operation of the prototype system;
• Investigation of system performance and determining factors that influence the yield and quality of outputs;
• Development of improvements in system design to mitigate the factors decreasing quality and yield of outputs;
• Development of a continuous process;
• Liaising with vendors regarding the feasibility of scale up and conducting a cost-benefit analysis.
• Publishing research papers and documenting developed intellectual property.
• Reporting the progress to stakeholders (internal and external).

Job Requirements:

• Ph.D. degree in a field relevant to chemical reactor engineering (e.g., Chemical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering or other).
• PhD thesis or postdoctoral experience related to chemical reactor engineering for at least one of the following areas: (a) catalytic reactors, (b) continuous reactors.
• First-author publications in the areas mentioned above.
• High proficiency in English (e.g., TOELF, IELTS, GRE) for preparation of research papers.
• Ability to prepare well-written technical reports and research papers.
• Ability to prepare decent quality presentation decks, figures and illustrations.
• Ability to build formal and informal partnerships and work collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives.
• Ability to consistently achieve results, even under challenging circumstances.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
