Are you a biomedical researcher motivated to pursue an outstanding career in cancer research with a focus on structural biology?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 Scientist/ Senior Research Scientist to join the team of Prof. Ashok Venkitaraman.
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).Please refer to https://csi.nus.edu.sg/researcher/ashok-venkitaraman/ for more information on Professor Ashok Venkitaraman's researchFor this position, we would require a post-doctoral fellow to engage in designing and running of multiple CRISPR genome screens, to interrogate and identify genes that are responsible for a host of different genome instability phenomenon uncovered in our lab in human carcinogenesisWe are looking for highly motivated individuals with the ability to work in a team environment.
Genuine enthusiasm for science, willingness to think beyond established concepts and to try and learn new experimental and analysis tools.Duties And ResponsibilitiesLaboratory skills:Required experience with CRISPR gene editing and screensRequired experience with mammalian cell cultureRequired experience with molecular cloning and biochemical analyses (qPCR, Western, co-IP, etc.
)Good to have experience in high-throughput sequencing and data analysis (RNAseq etc.
