The Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN), A*STAR, is seeking to appoint an outstanding Group Leader to carry out internationally competitive research in Microbiome-Immune Interactions.

The research should investigate how signals from the host, antigen exposures, and environmental signals shape the microbiome, and subsequently influence host immune responses in health and disease.

The successful candidate is expected to build and maintain a strong research programme that complements the existing programmes at SIgN, and to establish collaboration with the medical community and industry.

The Group Leader position is equivalent to that of an Assistant Professor in the university system. The successful candidate can look forward to a competitive salary package and resources as well as a dynamic work environment. Although the research programme will be supported by core funding, the candidate will be expected to expand research activities by securing additional funds through various grant schemes in Singapore. Researchers who are well versed in microbiome manipulation and are now looking at their influence on immune function are encouraged to apply.

Job Responsibilities:

• To lead a research team to conduct experimental research in the area of Microbiome- Immune Interactions
• To lead new initiatives in research project proposals
• To write up high impact research publications
• To mentor and provide support to junior researchers

Job Requirements:

• PhD in Immunology, Biomedical Sciences, or other relevant disciplines
• More than 3 years' experience in postdoctoral and independent research
• Strong lab-based research background in Immunology and Microbiology
• An excellent track record of research publications
• Excellent written and spoken communication skills

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.
