Job Description

We are recruiting 2 researchers to work on a major research project on building trust and digital resilience:

https://ctic.nus.edu.sg/ctic.moeT3 and https://ctic.nus.edu.sg/igyro

We are seeking applications for two full-time postdoctoral researcher/research fellow positions to work on building a theoretical framework to examine factors that affect public trust in digitalization, alongside trust in government and public institutions to manage associated risks. Through multi-city large scale surveys and online experiments, the study seeks to understand public attitudes towards technology, the digital information pipeline, and the role of government. This research will contribute to policy design and the implementation of digital technologies in a way that is sensitive to public concerns and expectations.

The two positions are available from Q3 2024 (reasonably earlier or later start date is negotiable) for 3 years each. The researchers are expected to have significant experience in designing and conducting survey research with a focus on digital technologies, platforms, AI, public trust, or other closely related areas. The project using a policy design lens will contribute to the literature on building trust in digitalization through mixed-method research in multiple phases. The project will conceptualise trust in digital information and examining factors such as trust in technology and trust in government.

Please provide CV, 3 writing samples (preferably journal articles) and a letter of interest indicating your expertise and experiences in survey methodology as well as potential contribution to research in sphere 3 on regulation and policy considerations for building trust and digital resilience.

Qualifications

Applicants must have a relevant PhD before starting the position.

Understanding the pharmaco/ nutrico/ toxicokinetic behaviour of drugs, chemicals and food ingredients is a fundamental step in assessing the efficacy and safety of these materials. It can be challenging to study such substances directly in human subjects, while animal models lack direct translatability to humans due to inherent differences in species biology. One promising strategy is the use of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling to predict the local tissue and systemic exposure of these substances. We have developed in-house in vitro and in silico tools to model chemical absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) in humans using data generated from in vitro assays. We apply these tools to predict pharmacokinetic profiles in different settings, ranging from oral or transdermal administration to studying special populations such as pregnant women, for a variety of substances including pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, environmental contaminants, essential micronutrients and microbial metabolites. These capabilities are further enhanced with state-of-the-art, enabling technologies such as the SHIME® intestinal digestion simulator and spatial mass spectrometry imaging.

The candidate in this position will be expected to be involved in the following activities:

• Literature search to extract relevant ADME data for chemicals of interest.
• Perform in vitro absorption, transporter, metabolism, fraction unbound and other related ADME assays.
• Quantify membrane protein, metabolic enzyme and xenobiotic concentrations within biological samples using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) instruments.
• Integrate appropriate in vitro and in silico data into PBPK models to predict the ADME of chemicals.
• Develop new and/or improve features of in-house models, including pharmacodynamic modelling.
• Write scientific grant proposals, maintain laboratory notebooks, prepare scientific reports, presentations and manuscripts.
• Supervise and train students and interns.

Qualifications

• PhD in Pharmaceutical Science, Life Sciences or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of ADME and pharmacokinetic concepts is essential.
• Prior experience in in vitro ADME assays and analytical mass spectrometry workflows is desirable.
• Prior experience with PBPK tools such as Simcyp®, GastroplusTM, PK Sim, Matlab/ Simbiology or other models is desirable.
• Able to work in a multi-disciplinary team, possess strong organizational and project management skills, demonstrate initiative and able to work independently.
