Job Description

The Cancer Immunology Lab, led by Dr Low Jun Siong, is a newly established research group at the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore. Our lab focuses on exploring the intersection of human immunology, cancer, and infection. Using cutting-edge, high-throughput, and integrative cell- and genetic-based approaches, we investigate the phenotype, repertoire, and function of T and B cells in cancer patients. Our ultimate objective is to translate these findings into clinical applications to improve patient outcomes. We are seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow (Postdoctoral Fellow) to join our team and lead pioneering projects aimed at advancing our understanding of T and B cell biology in tumor immunity.

• Innovative Research: Lead and design projects to study the role of T and B cells in cancer immunity, leveraging state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies.
• Collaboration: Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including clinicians and other researchers, to bridge laboratory findings with clinical applications.
• Data Analysis: Perform comprehensive analyses of experimental data, including single-cell sequencing, CRISPR screening, and other high-throughput approaches.
• Mentorship: Provide guidance to junior lab members, including students and research assistants, fostering a collaborative and productive lab environment.
• Dissemination of Research: Prepare and publish high-impact manuscripts and present findings at scientific conferences and seminars.

Interested applicants should include the following documents in the job application

1. Curriculum Vitae (CV)
2. Summary of past research experience including list of publication
3. Description of long-term plans
4. At least 3 referees including their name, contact information (email) and relationship to applicant
