About the role
AI summarisedThe lab is seeking a PhD-level scientist to develop high-throughput techniques for isolating and studying microbial diversity from environmental and human samples, using single-cell dispensing, metagenomics, flow cytometry, and Raman spectroscopy. The role involves functional interrogation of strains, studying microbial interactions, and building in silico models of community assembly, with a focus on identifying microbes that contribute to colonization resistance against multi-drug resistant bacteria.
ResearchFull-timeGenome Institute of Singapore
Key Responsibilities
- Develop high-throughput techniques to isolate and study microbial diversity from environmental (e.g. soil, sewage) and human samples (e.g. stool, saliva)
- Combine single-cell dispensing technologies, genome-resolved metagenomics, flow-cytometry and raman spectroscopy to functionally interrogate strains
- Study microbial interactions and build in silico models of community assembly
- Identify microbes and their functions that contribute to colonization resistance in the gut and the environment against multi-drug resistant bacteria
Requirements
- PhD in Culturomics
- Strong publication track record
- Candidates with significant experience in technology development will be preferred
