Humans are diverse, and this diversity influences the properties of our cells, as well as our developmental processes, and disease mechanisms, diagnoses, and treatments. The impact of population-specific genetic variation on disease risk and healthcare is widely appreciated, and this can contribute to health disparities. To build a single cell reference atlas suitable for diverse population groups, we seek to characterise the impact of genes and environment on molecular traits in cells from diverse individuals across the globe. Specifically, we aim to uncover the influence of genetics, ancestry, age and sex on human phenotypes in health and disease.

We are looking for team members who will develop cutting-edge AI/machine learning methods and pipelines to integrate and interrogate gene expression and regulatory profiles of >10 million cells from thousands of donors. Your work will help establish a healthy immune baseline for disease comparisons, and craft and curate atlases of human cells that will transform our understanding of human biology. Successful candidates for this position will have the opportunity to collaborate with, learn from, and contribute to teams across the world studying diverse donors and tissues, including the Human Cell Atlas bionetworks.

Requirements:

• PhD with experience in computational biology
• Mathematical sophistication
• Programming skills in R/Python
• Strong communication skills
• Post-doctoral candidates should have a strong track record, including impactful publications

Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate as a research fellow in the Quantitative Proteomics Core in collaboration with the Kappei lab at the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI). Our team addresses research questions on nucleic acid-protein interactions with quantitative mass spectrometry, cell biological and genetic approaches applied to cancer research and we further support research activities at CSI as part of the Quantitative Proteomics Core with quantitative proteomics solutions to study protein expression, protein interactions as well as post-translational modifications.

Proteins are the functional agents in cells, yet the systematic global characterization of their expression and spatial distribution has largely remained limited to the analysis of RNA as a proxy. To close this gap, we have recently expanded the Quantitative Proteomics Core to Clinical Proteomics applications with dedicated instruments including a timsTOF fleX mass spectrometer that allows for dual LC-MS/MS and MALDI imaging analysis. The research fellow will develop innovative workflows for both untargeted and targeted spatial protein imaging applied to the analysis of cancer tissues. We are offering a position in a stimulating, diverse and international research environment as well as the opportunity to gain expertise in a highly demanded technology using state-of-the-art instruments.

Qualifications

Requirements:
• PhD in life sciences, chemistry, medicine or related fields
• Strong background and working knowledge of basic molecular and biochemical techniques
• Excellent communication skills and good team spirit
• Ability to solve problems independently
• Penchant for method development
• Strong publication record
• Preference will be given to candidates with
o Experience with mass spectrometry (sample preparation and instrument operation/maintenance)
o Experience with image analysis and/or histology

Applications should include in a single PDF a 1-page cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names and contact information of at least 2 professional references.
