Job Description

The National University of Singapore is inviting applications for a Research Fellow position in the Infectious Diseases Translational Research Programme and Department of Physiology at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. Our laboratory's overarching research focus is investigating how the microenvironment interacts with lung cells and how dysregulation of this interaction contributes to lung disease pathophysiology, specifically asthma, respiratory infections, and lung cancer. The long-term goal of our research is to identify novel therapeutic targets for these diseases.

Main duties and responsibilities

The research fellow will be expected to lead the design and implementation of infectious lung disease models across different species, establish and maintain 3D lung cultures, supervise graduate and undergraduate students, administer ethics approvals, and manage grant funds while maintaining the highest standard of professional conduct and record-keeping in accordance with policies and procedures. The RF will also assist with any other duties of a similar nature that are delegated by the PI.
