Led by experts from NUS and research institutes in Singapore, the Centre aims to drive global food security and accelerate regional innovation. The focus will be on microalgae research and biomass fermentation, to produce high-quality, affordable, and sustainable microbial proteins from microalgae and biomass fermentation that can be further developed into cultured meat and plant-based protein hybrids. Microbial proteins will be cultivated through fermentation and processed using emerging bio-physical techniques for effective biotransformation, to improve digestibility, flavour, and nutritional profile. The research will also investigate methods to scale up the production of alternative protein products. More information about the centre can be found here: https://www.fst.nus.edu.sg/bezoscentre/.

As a research assistant, you will assist with conducting and monitoring microalgal cultivation bioprocesses via analytical techniques to achieve maximal product titres, yields, and rates. You will also assist with processing the microbial proteins for optimal digestibility, flavour, and nutritional profiles. The candidate will work closely with postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers. Appointments will be initially made on a 1-year contract, renewable for up to 5 years.

Responsibilities:
- Conduct research activities in accordance with the Centre objectives involving but not limited to:
i. Conversion of industrial food side-streams into media suitable for microalgae cultivation.
ii. Microalgae cultivations in flask and benchtop bioreactors under batch, fed batch, or continuous modes.
iii. Conduct chromatographic, spectroscopic, and fluorescent analyses to monitor microalgae growth.
iv. Monitor the success of bio-physical techniques via in vitro digestibility studies, chromatography, and advanced microscopic analyses.
v. Assist in scaling up cultivations to pilot scale setting.
- Assist in data analysis and preparing formal reports, publications, and presentations.
- Perform general lab housekeeping and maintain safety documentation.
- Coordinate procurement and liaison with vendors/suppliers.
- Ensure proper equipment operation and maintenance.
- Remain updated on current scientific literature related to microbial foods.
- Other duties as required.

Applications:
Please include the cover letter, CV (including personal particulars, academic and employment history), academic transcripts, university certificate, and the contact information of 3 referees in your application. Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.

Qualifications

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in food science, bioprocess engineering, chemical engineering, microbiology, or a related discipline.
- Knowledge in any of the following areas will be advantageous: single-cell biomass cultivation, chromatographic analytical methods, flow cytometry, upcycling of food side-streams, bioreactor or fermenter operation, qPCR, design of experiments, in vitro digestibility studies, single-cell downstream processing.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills in English are required.
- Good communication and interpersonal skills to engage within a culturally diverse and cross-disciplinary team.
- Proactive, with the ability to conduct experiments independently.
- Highly motivated in developing sustainable and novel foods.
- Excellent problem solving and analytical skills.
- Meticulous, well-organised, and detail oriented.

Job Description

We are seeking for suitable Research Fellow who is interested to work with Dr Prateek Bansal's research group at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The project involves understanding preferences for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), estimating its effect on public transport, and quantifying system-level emission impact of MaaS.

The candidate will be responsible for:

• In-depth review of the literature.
• Designing and conducting stated preference experiments
• Developing and estimating discrete choice models
• Devising optimization-based approaches for system-level MaaS design by integrating results from discrete choice models.
• Creating an agent-based model to simulate the emission impact of MaaS

The successful applicant is expected to pursue independent as well as collaborative research and must be willing to participate in writing grant proposals and supervising doctoral/postgraduate research students.

Job Requirements

• Possess a PhD degree in Travel behaviour, Management, Economics, Statistics, Psychology or related disciplines.
• Has good understanding of discrete choice experiments and model estimation,
• Has strong background in optimization methods.
• Is proficient in programming econometric models in R, Python, or MATLAB.
• Strong written and spoken communications.
• Open to fixed-term contract.
