Research Associate (Computer Programming)

The Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) is a unique interdisciplinary Research Centre of Excellence (RCE), funded by National Research Foundation, Singapore Ministry of Education, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National University of Singapore (NUS). Hosted by NTU in partnership with NUS, SCELSE is linking new insights from the life sciences with expertise from the emerging technologies in engineering and natural sciences to understand, harness and control microbial biofilm communities and microbiomes.

SCELSE is seeking a Research Fellow to develop molecular protocols for DNA and RNA isolation from marine bacteria and microalgae for genome sequencing and transcriptomics, and establish a bioinformatic pipeline for genome assembly and gene expression. The candidate should be a talented marine microbiologist with experience working with marine pathogens, genomics and bioinformatic analysis.

Key Responsibilities:

• To develop transcriptomics methodology and analysis pipelines for marine microalgae

• To use microscopy, flow cytometry and photosynthetic measurements to measure microalgal physiology

Job Requirements:

• PhD in genomics of a marine pathogen and/or algal host

• Competent in molecular microbiology, bioinformatics and molecular phylogeny

• Experience in genome sequencing for a range of marine microbes

• Ability to perform DNA and RNA manipulation (e.g., extraction, purification, QC) for genomics and transcriptomics

• Experience handling large datasets for bioinformatic analysis

• Ability to handle microbes competently and safely up to Biological Safety Level 2 (BSL2)

• Good aseptic technique

• Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team

• Excellent interpersonal skills

• Possess a sense of initiative and proactiveness

We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
