Job Summary

A full-time Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the Infection and Adaptive Immunity Laboratory, led by Principal Investigator Dr Jun Siong Low, with an immediate start.

Our laboratory investigates T and B cell immune repertoires in the context of infectious diseases and cancer, with a focus on understanding adaptive immune responses and translating these discoveries into therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

We are seeking a highly motivated, resourceful, and adaptable individual to join our growing team. The candidate will contribute to research projects focused on the discovery and characterisation of monoclonal antibodies against Pathogen X.

This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic researcher to work in a dynamic and fast-paced research environment, contribute to exciting scientific discoveries, and develop new technical and leadership skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Research and Experimental Work: Design, plan, and independently conduct experiments, including data collection, analysis, interpretation, and troubleshooting, to support ongoing research projects.
• Scientific Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate and comprehensive experimental records, analyse and interpret research findings, and prepare reports, presentations, and other scientific materials for internal discussions and external collaborators.
• Laboratory Establishment and Management: Support the establishment and smooth day-to-day operations of the laboratory, including coordinating laboratory activities, maintaining equipment and inventory, and overseeing routine administrative and operational tasks.
• Research Project Support: Contribute to research initiatives involving monoclonal antibody discovery and characterisation against Pathogen X, as well as other projects related to adaptive immunity.
• Training and Mentorship: Assist in onboarding new students and postdoctoral researchers, facilitate the transfer of laboratory techniques and protocols, and provide guidance and technical support for their research activities.
• Laboratory Safety and Compliance: Promote and maintain a safe working environment by ensuring adherence to laboratory safety guidelines, biosafety requirements, and established standard operating procedures.
• Team Collaboration: Work closely with the Principal Investigator and laboratory members to coordinate research activities, troubleshoot experimental challenges, and ensure the timely progress of projects.

Qualifications and Experience

• PhD in Biomedical Sciences, Biochemistry, Life Sciences, Biological Sciences, Infectious Diseases, Microbiology, Immunology, or a related discipline.
• Experience in monoclonal antibody-related work, molecular biology and mammalian cell culture is essential.
