- Based in Singapore, the regional hub for Asia Pacific (AP) and top-ranked biopharmaceutical company on the Straits Times and Statista’s list of Best Employers in Singapore for two consecutive years (2020, 2021).
- Join the premier biopharmaceutical company that has been in Singapore for more than 25 years and in AP for over 60 years.
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our Research Division Postdoctoral Research Fellow Program. The successful candidate will work in a state-of-the-art laboratory environment with top capabilities, expertise, and knowledge, and will gain experience in drug discovery and development. The postdoctoral fellow will be pivotal in leading a project that involves utilizing various multiplex and omics technologies to spatially profile the microenvironment of a chronic lung disease, aiming to gain deeper insights into disease pathology and identify novel therapeutic targets.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Operate autonomously with minimal supervision to gain expertise in the field though literature searches, networking with the community, and driving scientific communications in the related field.
- Design and implement robust experimental methodologies utilizing multiplex (IF/IHC) and multi-omics (Transcriptomics/MALDI/Proteomics) technologies to spatially profile lung disease states and cell biology to conduct mechanism of action studies to understand the biological pathways.
- Able to analyse and interpret multi-omics datasets using bioinformatic and AL/ML tools to understand pathological disease pathways and to identify novel therapeutic targets.
- Experience and ability to publish high-quality research in reputable journals.
- Identify, lead and support collaborative initiatives with the research team(s) internally or externally to achieve project needs and goals.
- Maintain visibility by presenting research findings at scientific conferences and meetings both internally and externally.
- Stay current with the latest advancements in the field and propose innovative research directions.
- Ensure reliable documentation of experiments and results in electronic notebooks and other documents in compliance with company policies and project needs. Identify the need for and ensure the implementation of risk assessments and SOPs as appropriate.
- Ensure all activities comply with appropriate health and safety legislation, company codes of practice and local rules. Promote the culture of safety and compliance among colleagues.
WHAT YOU MUST HAVE
To be successful in this role, you will have:
- Ph.D. in Life science discipline such as Medicine, Cell and Molecular Biology, Immunology, Bioinformatics, Bioimaging, or other relevant areas.
- 1-2 years of post-PhD research experience is an advantage, but PhD graduates with no prior working experience are also welcome to apply.
- Interest or experience in lung disease or anatomy would be a plus.
- Proficient in bioinformatic analysis of large datasets. Experience with programming and AI/ML is desirable, but not mandatory.
- Familiarity with tissue pathology and various multiplex (IF, IHC) and omics (transcriptomics, proteomics) analyses.
- Working knowledge of some laboratory-based methodologies such as mass spectrometry, molecular biology, cell biology, histology, microscopy and biochemical assays.
- Self-motivated with a demonstrated track record of quality publications.
- Strong written and communication skills
