Research Fellow (Structural Biology)

Join Our Team at the School of Biological Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

The (SBS), part of the College of Science, was established in 2002 with a mission to advance biological and biomedical sciences. At SBS, our research spans various areas, including infectious diseases, immunology, neurodegenerative diseases, telomere biology, and genome function. Over the years, SBS has attracted talented individuals from around the world and Singapore to join as scientific leaders and researchers.

Position Available: Research Fellow

Join the laboratory of Xiao Tianshu at the School of Biological Sciences. We are seeking a Research Fellow to contribute to a project focused on structure- and function-based therapeutic development against infectious diseases, including flavivirus and coronavirus. The research fellow will be involved in experiments that will pinpoint novel antiviral inhibitors, structural characterization on the inhibitor/target interaction and other mechanistic studies using biophysical and biochemical approaches.

Key Responsibilities

• Protein production and purification using affinity chromatography and AKTA FPLC system.
• Perform biophysical studies including BLI, ITC, etc. to study protein ligand interaction.
• Conduct structural studies on proteins using techniques such as EM, X-ray or NMR.
• Data processing and analysis of binding kinetics and structural data.
• Carry out functional studies using mammalian cell-based systems.
• Data presentation and visualization

Job Requirements

• PhD in biophysics.
• Strong research experience and track record in protein structural study. Candidates with experience in X-ray or cryo-EM are preferred.
• Experience with molecular cloning, ELISA, protein expression in mammalian cell/insect cell and protein purification using affinity chromatography and FPLC system. Candidates with skills including flow cytometry or BLI will be preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English - essential for data analysis and communication with stakeholders
• Excellent team player.
