Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Malaria molecular biology)
We are seeking an experienced molecular biologist for a funded research project on comparative transcriptomics in malaria parasites. The suitable candidate will be involved in generating a wide range of transcriptional datasets from clinical isolates typically using microarray analysis and is some circumstances RNAseq. The candidate will be expected to work closely with both the bioinformatic as well as the clinical support team located at different field sites. The candidate is expected to posses both good leadership characteristics but also must be a good team player and work along the other research scientist to drive forward the project.
The candidate should have a PhD in Molecular Biology or related topic and have a good understanding of transcriptional analysis using microarray or related techniques. A highly competitive salary will be considered for candidates with extensive experience and expertise.
You can also send a detailed CV to Dr. Peter Preiser (prpreiser@ntu.edu.sg ) for early consideration.
Only shortlisted candidates will be asked to submit a completed application form with your detailed CV, research interest and full contacts of at least two referees to:
Professor Peter Preiser
Nanyang Technological University
School of Biological Sciences
60 Nanyang Drive
Singapore 637551
Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.

Workplace: School of Biological Sciences, NTU @ One North
Form of employment: Full time, Project employment
Startdate: Immediate
NTU has established a group located at Biopolis focusing on research around protein-protein complexes, membrane proteins and herpes virus structural genomics. The facility is using a high throughput protein production platform for providing proteins. The methodology in the group is focused around standard molecular biology techniques, protein production, protein purification, crystallography and biophysics. We are looking for a skilled and tidy PO to work in our protein science group.
Job description
You will be working with high-throughput, expression and purification of proteins as well as setting up crystallization trials for structural studies and biophysical analysis.
Qualifications:
• B.Sc within the field of biological science, biotechnology or equivalent.
• Documented hands on experience from laboratory work in the field of molecular biology and protein purification.
• Good problem solving skills and ability to work independently.
• Ability to work in a structured mode and to adhere to stringent timelines.
• High-throughput work requires that you have a thorough understanding of the importance of strict documentation, workflow and overall strategy.
• Enjoy lab work.
