Job Description
We are looking for a research officer to apply biomolecular modelling methods, including homology modelling and molecular dynamics, to understand the molecular mechanisms of coding variants that are associated with type 2 diabetes. Where applicable, structures of protein-ligand, protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid complexes will be modelled to determine the effect of the mutation on these interactions. The successful candidate will also have opportunities to work on collaborative projects with experimental groups to develop therapeutics and understand biochemical mechanisms.
Job Requirements
The above eligibility criteria are not exhaustive. A*STAR may include additional selection criteria based on its prevailing recruitment policies. These policies may be amended from time to time without notice. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
