- Analyze data, interpret results, and draw meaningful conclusions.
- Publish research in scientific journals.
- Apply for competitive research funding and manage funded research projects.
- Prepare technical reports, presentations, and documentation for internal and external stakeholders.
- Mentor junior researchers and students in biochemistry, molecular biology, and microbiology techniques.
Job Requirements:
- PhD in microbiology, biochemistry, or related disciplines and at least 5 years of relevant research experience.
- Proficiency in relevant laboratory techniques.
- Capability to establish new laboratory capabilities.
- Experience with fabrication techniques such as soft lithography, photolithography, and micromachining.
- Strong knowledge of biochemistry and microbiology techniques, including molecular biology, enzymology, microbial culture, and genetic manipulation.
- Strong publication record in relevant journals.
- Experience with application for competitive research funding is an advantage.
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively on interdisciplinary research projects.
- Good command of written and spoken English.
- Ability to balance multiple research projects, meet deadlines and effectively collaborate with partners of different backgrounds and levels of expertise.
