A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs (A*IDL) is actively seeking a Scientist to join our mission of becoming a leading center for infectious diseases research. A*IDL is dedicated to advancing translational research in infectious diseases to improve both health and economic outcomes.

Host Pathogen Interactions in A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs (A*STAR ID Labs) is seeking a Postdoctoral researcher to join the lab.

Job Description:

We are seeking a talented researcher to lead the research on a 3 year funded research project as well as develop novel ideas in the broad scope of host-pathogen interactions and infectious diseases. Preliminary data gathered will help develop the researcher’s career and path to independence through the various early-career support available internally in A*STAR as well as in the Singapore ecosystem.

The funded project will aim to characterize and compare host-alphavirus interactions at the immune response level in vivo in animal models through a novel viral-centric approach. Preliminary data of the lab has shown a differential adaptive immune response polarization between two alphaviruses and identified, via in vivo comparative multiOmic approaches, a set of candidate host factors potentially responsible for the phenotype. The project will entail a close characterization of these host factors and their role in the viral life cycle as well as the modulation of the immune response of small animal model to these viruses. In addition to multi-Omics approaches (including single-cell and spatial), protein-protein interactions, microscopy, functional genomics, viral reverse genetics and CRISPR Cas9 gene editing will be some of the tools used to investigate this viral hijacking and understand the host-viral interplay. Animals models available in the lab include mice and zebrafish. Downstream of characterization will aim to validate these targets in small preclinical models for subsequent drug discovery in the A*STAR ecosystem. Throughout the project, close collaborative work within A*STAR ID Labs as well as other institutes throughout Singapore and overseas will be used to leverage expertise for high impact studies.

Job Requirements

• PhD in Biomedical Sciences, Life Sciences, Immunology or related field
• Atleast 3 to 5 years of relevant experience in immunology or related field. No virology experience necessary.
• Highly motivated and able to work independently.

Founded in 2010, the Centre for Governance and Sustainability (CGS) is housed at the National University of Singapore Business School. We are the go-to hub for corporate sustainability (CS) and corporate governance (CG) insights. Our research pillars are as diverse as they are profound, covering initiatives in sustainability reporting, climate and nature-related reporting, the Singapore Governance and Transparency Index (SGTI), ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS) and more.

Our research empowers leaders, organisations and regulators in making informed decisions related to CS and CG. We bridge knowledge with industry needs, enabling organisations in the Asia Pacific (APAC), including ASEAN and Singapore, to go further in their sustainability journeys.

Our flagship initiatives include the Sustainability Reporting Review (SRR), Climate Reporting in ASEAN and Nature-related Reporting in APAC, the Singapore Governance and Transparency Index, and the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS). These initiatives assess and analyse corporate disclosures on the respective stock exchanges. The Singapore Exchange commissioned CGS to conduct the SRR while the ACGS review is an appointment by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

CGS also organises events such as public lectures, industry roundtables and academic conferences on topics related to sustainability and governance. For more information, please visit: https://bschool.nus.edu.sg/cgs/

CGS has multiplied its research efforts over the years and is advancing rapidly in its sustainability and governance endeavours. We are looking for a qualified candidate to be part of the dynamic team of researchers at CGS.
