The Signature Research Programme in Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) aims to pioneer the development and discovery of new and more effective methods for the treatment, prevention and control of new and emerging pathogens. The key outcome of the research will be to understand viral pathogens infection cycle so as to develop treatments and control strategies.
The position is for a full-time Research Fellow who will be involved in a study investigating structural changes of dengue virus inside the cell. The successful candidate will conduct experiments to characterize determine the structures of dengue viruses using structural techniques in particular cryoEM, and perform a variety of functions related to research under the supervision of the Principal Investigator (PI) or her designate:
- Work with the PI to design, develop, and execute research projects.
- Independently conduct research projects, including data collection, analysis, and preparation of results for publications and grant reports/applications.
- Maintain accurate records of methodologies, materials, raw data, and observations for experiments.
- Perform oral presentations and participate in discussions during meetings and interact with all members of the research team.
- Provide guidance and mentorship to undergraduate / students and research assistants.
- Perform other related duties incidental to the work described herein.
