Job Description:
The Agency for Science, Technology and Research (ASTAR)* is Singapore's lead public sector agency that fosters world-class scientific research and talent to drive economic growth and transform Singapore into a vibrant knowledge-based and innovation driven economy.
In line with its mission-oriented mandate, A*STAR spearheads research and development in fields that are essential to growing Singapore’s manufacturing sector and catalysing new growth industries. A*STAR supports these economic clusters by providing intellectual, human and industrial capital to its partners in industry.
A*STAR oversees 18 biomedical sciences and physical sciences and engineering research entities, located in Biopolis and Fusionopolis, as well as their vicinity. These two R&D hubs house a bustling and diverse community of local and international research scientists and engineers from A*STAR’s research entities as well as a growing number of corporate laboratories.
About the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN)
The Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN), officially inaugurated on 15 January 2008, is a research consortium under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR)’s Biomedical Research Council. The mandate of SIgN is to advance human immunology research and participate in international efforts to combat major health problems. Since its launch, SIgN has grown rapidly and currently includes 250 scientists from 26 different countries around the world working under 28 renowned principal investigators. At SIgN, researchers investigate immunity during infection and various inflammatory conditions including cancer and are supported by cutting edge technological research platforms and core services.
Through this, SIgN aims to build a strong platform in basic human immunology research for better translation of research findings into clinical applications. SIgN also sets out to establish productive links with local and international institutions, and encourage the exchange of ideas and expertise between academic, industrial and clinical partners and thus contribute to a vibrant research environment in Singapore.
For more information about A*STAR and SIgN, please visit www.a-star.edu.sg and www.sign.a-star.edu.sg respectively.
A position is available immediately to study i) mechanisms of immunosenescence and immune exhaustion in the context of persistent infections and aging ii) biological signatures associated with immune responses to vaccinations iii) a systematic approach of aging to define biological features of healthy aging in collaboration with Bioinformatics/Computational Modeling teams. The studies will involve human and mouse models. SIgN has state of the art facilities for flow cytometry, imaging, genomics and bioinformatics.
Successful candidates will have a strong background in immunology; an expertise in the field of aging/persistent infections would be an asset.
Requirements:
• A doctoral degree in immunology or related fields
• A postdoctoral experience and significant publications
• Independent and highly motivated with good interpersonal skills
• Strong writing skills are required
Interested applicants should send a copy of their resume with publication list and contact information of three referees who could be contacted for letters of reference to anis_larbi@immunol.a-star.edu.sg.
