Job Description
The Laboratory for Translational and Molecular Imaging (LTMI) at Duke-NUS Medical School aims to develop local infrastructure and deep capabilities in the development of molecular imaging technologies for guiding the advancement and translation of cancer immunotherapies and companion diagnostics. LTMI is looking for a Research Fellow that will complement current interdisciplinary research programmes by bringing expertise in computational biology approaches to improve clinical diagnosis and intervention among the population cohorts in Singapore and contribute to the field of precision medicine in Singapore.
The successful candidate will bring in expertise of molecular modeling and bioinformatics analysis as applied to oncology and infectious disease. He/She will be responsible for the strategic planning, execution and communication of research. The candidate will be working closely with the strong modelling community at the A*STAR Bioinformatics Institute (BII). Candidates with strong records of scientific accomplishment in bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular modeling or related disciplines are encouraged to apply. Scope of work include the following:
- Lead all efforts directed to mining information from biomolecular sequence and integrate into structure, dynamics, and molecular design, from biological targets including proteins, and peptides.
- Develop methods for data analysis and design and apply machine learning models which can integrate multi-modal data, both genome and proteome centered.
- Ensure timely reporting and presentation of study results to the team and making appropriate decisions on data obtained from computational studies.
- Write and review research papers, and present at local and international conferences.
- Provide guidance and mentorship to junior researchers and/or graduate students.
- Demonstrate effective organisation/project management abilities to efficiently manage time and work activities.
- Perform other related duties incidental to the work described therein.
Job Requirements
- PhD in Modelling Studies or related disciplines with at least 6 years of relevant experience. Candidates with higher credentials may be considered for Senior Research Fellow appointment.
- Experienced in programming, and familiar with the Linux environment and usage of high-performance computing.
- Experienced in various aspects of molecular modelling of biomolecules such as sequence analysis, design, molecular simulations, free energy methods; experience with exploring protein interaction networks, effects of post-translational modifications will be an advantage.
- Demonstrate excellent communication, technical independence, analytical and problem-solving skills.
- A team player who is able to prioritise, multi-task and work collaboratively in a diverse workforce.
- Minimum of 2 years contract.
We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
