Research Fellow (Peptide Engineering)

The School of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) invites applications for the position of Research Fellow.

Key Responsibilities: 

• To develop stimuli-responsive peptide coacervates capable of forming condensed liquid-like droplets and to disassemble upon external stimuli.

• To carry out drug delivery experiments in vitro and investigate intracellular delivery of therapeutics, including antibodies, mRNAs, anti-cancer peptides, etc…

• To develop molecular biology protocols for CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing.

• To supervise post-graduate students, write scientific papers, and interact with our industrial collaborators.

Job Requirements: 

• PhD in materials science and engineering, bioengineering, or synthetic chemistry.

• Excellent technical skills in peptide characterization techniques, peptide synthesis, and peptide conjugation chemistry.

• At least 4 years of experience with cell culture techniques, fluorescence microscopy, NMR and FACS.

• Prior experience with liquid-liquid phase separation related research will be considered a strong asset.

We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.

Hiring Institution: NTU
