Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Immunology)

About the role

The School of Biological Sciences at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the laboratory of Asst Prof Loh Jia Tong. The lab investigates early-life innate immune mechanisms in health and disease, using mouse models, high-dimensional immune profiling, single-cell genomics and functional immunology.

Key responsibilities

• Design and conduct independent research projects in immunology.
• Perform and analyze high-dimensional flow cytometry experiments.
• Use and develop murine models of infection and immune-mediated disease.
• Carry out primary immune cell isolation, culture and functional assays.
• Analyze and interpret single-cell RNA sequencing datasets.
• Contribute to manuscript preparation, grant applications and presentation of findings.
• Mentor junior researchers and help maintain a collaborative laboratory environment.

Required profile

• PhD in Immunology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biomedical Sciences or a related field; entry-level candidates with strong technical expertise are encouraged to apply.
• Strong experimental background in immunology research.
• Good written and oral communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
• Prior experience in innate immunity, neutrophils and myeloid cells is an advantage.
• A publication record in peer-reviewed journals.

Required skills

• High-dimensional flow cytometry and data analysis
• Murine experimentation and in vivo disease models
• Primary cell isolation and culture
• Single-cell RNA sequencing data analysis

To apply, candidates must submit a CV, a brief statement of research interests and at least two referee letters. Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
