Candidates should possess a Master degree in Biological Sciences or similar, be highly motivated, with a strong work ethic, initiative and an ability to multitask and learn techniques rapidly. The applicant will also be independent, yet able to work in a close team towards common goals. Good organizational, record-keeping, communication and team-based skills are essential, as is awareness of workplace health and safety requirements. Experience with zebrafish or similar model organisms and molecular cloning techniques will be highly regarded. The candidate must have a demonstrable ability to contribute to manuscript preparation and report writing, including literature scanning database searches and statistical analyses of data.

Key responsibilities:

• Plan and conduct molecular biology experiments
• Perform cell labelling approaches and microscopy
• Image analysis and generation of figures
• Record keeping and statistical analysis of data
• Presentation of data in appropriate medium
• Lab keeping and procurement

Research project: Connecting within-host viral dynamics with the epidemiology of COVID-19: a multiscale computational infrastructure

In this project, we aim to develop a multiscale modeling framework and computational infrastructure to connect within-host viral dynamics/antibody dynamics and between-host transmission dynamics. The multiscale model will help address key epidemiological and public health questions which could not be answered by classic (single scale) approaches. Specifically, we plan to develop and calibrate the multiscale model for SARS-CoV-2 and assess effect of intervention (e.g., antiviral treatment) on epidemiological dynamics.

This project is led by Keisuke Ejima, an Assistant Professor at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University.

The Research Fellow primarily leads the project under supervision of PI in the areas of collecting clean data, reviewing literatures, lead model development, lead data analyses, leading the manuscript writing and other areas of the project support.

Candidates should have a Master degree in a quantitative field, such as data science, computational biology, mathematics, computer science, (bio)statistics, or related field. Research experience and/or educational background on public health and medicine is a plus but not essential. Computational experience on R and MONOLIX is preferred. Good communication skill and respectful attitude for teamwork. The successful applicant will work as part of a growing and energetic team, focusing on quantitatively understanding biological mechanisms of infection and its impact on both individual and population health.

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant to join our interdisciplinary team addressing critical issues in advancing sketch prototype concept creation using Large Multimodal Models (LMMs). This role involves contributing to a groundbreaking project aimed at developing and studying novel means of interaction with state of the art LMMs that the research team will develop.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, refine, and deploy our sketching application
• Collect and analyse data from the prototype
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to integrate LMMs into the sketching application.
• Help conduct empirical research, including designing studies, recruiting participants, and managing experimental data.
• Contribute to the design and development of interaction techniques for novel human-AI interactions.
• Support the team in writing research proposals, progress reports, and academic papers.
• Engage actively with project stakeholders to facilitate the adoption and implementation of research findings.

Qualifications, Skills, Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Psychology, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
• Strong interest in rapid prototyping and human-AI interaction, particularly in LMMs.
• Experience in research methods, statistical analysis, AI and LMMs.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment as well as independently.

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant to join our interdisciplinary team addressing critical issues in mental health using AI technologies. This role involves contributing to a groundbreaking project aimed at developing AI-driven tools for mental health support, with a focus on detecting and treating mental health disorders and distress through digital platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the development and refinement of algorithms designed to detect social communication patterns and signs of mental distress.
• Participate in the design and testing of AI models, including data collection, preprocessing, and analysis.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to integrate AI tools into social media and messaging apps to offer real-time mental health support.
• Help conduct empirical research, including designing studies, recruiting participants, and managing experimental data.
• Contribute to the development of empathetic conversational support systems facilitated by human-AI interactions.
• Support the team in writing research proposals, progress reports, and academic papers.
• Engage actively with project stakeholders to facilitate the adoption and implementation of research findings.

Qualifications, Skills, Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Psychology, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
• Strong interest in mental health research and AI technologies.
• Experience in research methods and statistical analysis, preferably with exposure to machine learning or natural language processing.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment as well as independently.
• Prior experience in handling sensitive data and ethical considerations in mental health research is advantageous.
