Job Description

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS) invites applications for a Research Fellow (Biointerfaces and Bioelectronics).
The successful candidate will join Dr. Jiaobing Tu's research group (https://www.jiaobing-tu.com/) and contribute to interdisciplinary research at the interface of proteins, materials, and bioelectronics. The research focuses on understanding and engineering protein–material interactions for molecular sensing, adaptive biomaterials, and bioelectronic applications.

Responsibilities include:
•    Develop and characterize protein-functionalized materials and biointerfaces.
•    Investigate protein immobilization, orientation, conformational dynamics, and interfacial behavior.
•    Perform electrochemical, biophysical, and surface characterization of protein–material systems.
•    Design and optimize protein-based biosensing and bioelectronic platforms.
•    Collaborate closely with researchers in protein engineering, computational protein design, and materials science.

Qualifications

•    Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Protein Engineering, Structural Biology, Molecular Biology, Chemical Biology, Biotechnology, Bioengineering, Biophysics, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline.

•    Demonstrated expertise in recombinant protein expression, purification, and biochemical characterization.
•    Experience in one or more of the following areas: computational protein design, protein engineering, molecular cloning, plasmid construction, and microbial expression systems.
•    Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary research environment.
