The School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) invites applications for the position of Research Fellow in the YES Group at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. CCEB is an interdisciplinary school under the College of Engineering and College of Science, bringing together expertise in chemistry, biotechnology, food science, and biomedical research.

The YES Group focuses on understanding how natural products, functional foods, and dietary bioactives regulate neuroendocrine, metabolic, and gut–brain axis pathways in stress-, aging-, and diet-associated disorders. The Research Fellow will play a key role in conducting interdisciplinary research using cellular, molecular, biochemical, and animal-based approaches, and will contribute to publications, grant applications, and mentoring of junior researchers.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct research on natural products, functional foods, metabolism, neuroendocrine regulation, neuroinflammation, and gut–brain axis biology.
Design and perform in vitro, ex vivo, and/or in vivo experiments, including molecular, cellular, biochemical, histological, and animal studies.
Analyse and interpret experimental data, troubleshoot protocols, and maintain accurate research records
Assist in preparing manuscripts, grant applications, progress reports, ethics/IACUC applications, and conference abstracts.
Mentor graduate students, undergraduate students, and junior research staff, and support laboratory safety and daily research operations.
Present research progress in group meetings, project meetings, seminars, and conferences.

Job Requirements:

PhD in neuroscience, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, food science, nutrition, pharmacology, biomedical science, or a closely related discipline.
Strong research experience in neuroendocrinology, metabolism, gut–brain axis, neuroinflammation, natural products, functional foods, or dietary bioactives.
Hands-on experience with techniques such as cell culture, qPCR, Western blotting, ELISA, immunostaining, microscopy, biochemical assays, and/or animal experiments.
Experience with behavioral studies, metabolic phenotyping, tissue collection, stereotaxic surgery, transcriptomics, metabolomics, or bioinformatics would be advantageous.
Strong analytical, organisational, communication, and scientific writing skills.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment.

We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
