Senior Scientist (SYN Lab), IMCB

The Cellular Basis of Neural Diseases laboratory in the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, A.STAR invites applications for a position as Senior Scientist I (Postdoctoral Research Fellow) in Cellular and Metabolic Therapies for Neurological Diseases.

The goal of the program is to derive clinically relevant neural cell types from induced pluripotent stem cells for development of novel therapies. This will be achieved through enhanced biological understanding of the disease progression and identification of new disease targets.

Interested candidates should have a PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences, Neuroscience, Stem Cells and Regenerative Biology or a relevant field. The ideal candidate should possess the following characteristics:

. Passionate and committed to advance the frontiers of Stem Cell/Neuroscience research

. Excellent communication skills (both written and oral)

. A team player who can perform well with colleagues as well as independently

. Proven track record of scientific research evidenced by strong publication record

. Experience with neural organoid cultures, as well as single cell RNA-seq analyses would be highly desirable

. Meticulous and organized
