Singapore Society for Mass Spectrometry

About the job

The Duke-NUS Metabolomics Lab is a leading metabolomics core and research facility in Singapore, actively contributing to numerous projects aimed at uncovering disease mechanisms through advanced metabolomics profiling.

We are seeking a Research Fellow to play a key role in metabolomics-related research. The successful candidate will work both independently and collaboratively to analyse biological samples using mass spectrometry and multi-omics approaches. The research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), metabolic disorders, and the role of the gut microbiome in these conditions.

• Independently design, plan, and execute experimental research aligned with project objectives.

• Write and review research papers, present research outcomes, conceptualise new ideas and develop plans for independent research which could have a considerable influence and impact on the relevant field attracting research funding.

• Provide support for external grant/protocol development, study design and management of research activities.

• Source financial support for research activities by investigating potential sources of funding, collaborate with Principal Investigator to write and revise grant/fellowship applications.

• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior researchers.

• Ensure optimal progress of experiments in the laboratory by conducting, supervising, and evaluating laboratory procedures and outcomes. Revise and analyse targets to obtain high-quality and reproducible results.

• Perform other related duties incidental to the work described therein.
