Research Fellow, Cancer Science Institute of Singapore, National University of Singapore
Are you a biomedical researcher motivated to pursue an outstanding career in cancer research?
Cancer will affect more than 1 in 3 Singaporeans. At the Cancer Science Institute (CSI), our mission is to be at the global forefront of research to overcome this scourge. Our innovative international faculty, cutting-edge facilities, supportive working environment and competitive package together enable each of our staff to realize their maximum potential.
We now seek a Research Fellow to join the team of our new Director-designate, Prof Ashok Venkitaraman, who will be joining us from the University of Cambridge (see http://news.nus.edu.sg/press-releases/cancer-science-institute-director). This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with a world-leading cancer researcher to undertake pioneering research on the role of genome instability in human carcinogenesis (eg., see Venkitaraman Science (2014) PMID:24675954 and Venkitaraman DNA Repair (2019) PMID:31337537).
ESSENTIAL qualifications include: (1) a PhD in a relevant field, (2) track record of research achievement, (3) hands-on experience in one or more relevant research fields including molecular and cell biology, somatic cell genetics, protein & nucleic acid biochemistry, advanced fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, (4) skills in working independently and creatively to solve experimental problems and (5) effective communication and presentation skills, with experience in communicating scientific work including scientific papers, presentations and reports.
Preference will be given to candidates with: (1) Previous experience in research on genome stability mechanisms in carcinogenesis, (2) Knowledge of DNA repair, replication and mitosis in oncogenesis and tumour suppression, and (3) Previous experience with genetically engineered murine models.
