Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine is recruiting a Research Fellow for the Respiratory and Infectious Diseases Programme, Laboratory of Antimicrobial Resistance and Drug Discovery under Professor Pablo Bifani. The lab is working in applied phage biology to develop recombinant phages for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purposes. These phages are to be used to treat patients affected by otherwise untreatable multidrug resistant organisms or recalcitrant bacterial infections. The job entails working with Gram positive and Gram negative bacteriophages.
Key Competencies and Requirements:
- PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences or related fields
- Expected to have a background working with bacteria and have a strong background and interest in molecular biology, including recombinant work, genomic, and transcriptomic.
- Knowledge or expertise working with bacteriophages will be an advantage
- Willing to learn and feel comfortable working with various bacteria (drug resistant K. pneumoniae, Acinetobacter or mycobacterium abscessus, others)
- Highly adaptable at working with different organisms and techniques
- Collaborative spirit with internal and external collaborators.
