The Bioinformatics Institute (BII), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STR) is seeking applications for an outstanding scientist in the field of quantum computing.

The Bioinformatics Institute (BII) is a computational biology research and postgraduate training institute as well as a national resource centre in bioinformatics within the Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) of A*STAR. Our scientists aim to understand the biomolecular mechanisms that underlie biomedical phenomena by developing sophisticated computational methods to support discovery from a secure and sustainable data hub to cross-disciplinary AI/ML analysis and data integration. We analyse a wide spectrum of biological and clinical data, including omics data (biomolecular sequences, expression profiles, epigenetics data), 3D structures of macromolecules, and biological tissue and macroscopic images from local and international academic, hospital and industry collaborators, public resources and also from in-house efforts. The institute has a vibrant and diverse research portfolio that includes infectious diseases, computational toxicology, precision medicine, oncology and drug discovery.

Job scope and responsibilities:

· Lead efforts in using quantum computing to analyze biomolecular and biomedical data (e.g. protein-ligand interactions, molecular docking, protein/RNA folding, molecular dynamics simulations, imaging, spatial ohmics) and couple it with methods such as quantum machine learning, quantum monte carlo etc, contributing to the development of a broader initiative encompassing AI in drug discovery.

· Collaborate closely with scientists within the Bioinformatics Institute, within A*STAR and within the local ecosystem.

· Lead or participate in research grant proposals.

Requirements:

· Minimum PhD in a related field.

· 2 years or more of postdoctoral experience in quantum computing, demonstrating outstanding research outcomes and strong publication records.

· The candidate must have experience in quantum computing software development/applications, especially with NISQ machines.

· Excellent communication (oral and written) and public speaking skills.

· Strong records of strategic thinking ability.

The above eligibility criteria are not exhaustive. A*STAR may include additional selection criteria based on its prevailing recruitment policies. These policies may be amended from time to time without notice. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
