Research Fellow (RNA Biology) Full-time

Research Fellow Position

A research fellow position is available in the DNA and RNA Editing (DaRE) Laboratory at the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) in NTU. The laboratory, led by Assoc Prof Tan Meng How, works on developing and applying cutting edge biotechnologies, including high throughput next generation (NGS) sequencing and CRISPR-Cas, to read, write, and decipher genomes and transcriptomes in living cells. The research fellow will be involved in efforts to develop and/or apply new tools and methodologies to push the boundaries of genomics and RNA biology and to gain deep insights into RNA editing and the ADAR family of enzymes. We seek an innovative and self-motivated researcher to join us in our endeavor.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and/or apply new genomic technologies such as CRISPR
• Perform wet-lab experiments on RNA editing and the ADAR enzymes
• Analyze data and prepare reports and presentations
• Write and publish high-impact journal papers
• Guide graduate and undergraduate students

Job Requirements:

• PhD degree from a reputable university in science or engineering
• Strong research experience in biological sciences, bioengineering, biotechnology, or a related discipline (such as genomics, genetics, computational biology, cell biology, molecular biology, synthetic biology etc.)
• An outstanding publication track record, preferably with a first-author paper in a high-impact journal
• Demonstrated an ability to work well in a team
• Good working knowledge of the latest genomic technologies

To apply, please submit a CV, brief statement of research interests, and contact information for at least two references to mh.tan@ntu.edu.sg.
