"Research Fellow - Telomere Biology (Cancer Science Institute, Dr Dennis Kappei's Lab)"

Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate for a research fellow position available in the Kappei Lab at the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore. Our team addresses research questions on how telomere-driven genomic instability contributes to carcinogenesis with quantitative mass spectrometry, cell biological and genetic approaches. Specifically, the successful candidate will be actively involved in a project investigating telomere-binding proteins in sarcoma. This project will span a variety of experimental approaches, e.g. chromatin immunoprecipitation, gene editing of cancer cell lines, expression analysis of mRNA and protein as well as various mass spectrometry-based approaches to study DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions. The successful candidate will design and conduct experiments, analyse data and write manuscripts.

Requirements

• A PhD in life sciences, medicine or related fields
• Strong background and working knowledge of basic molecular and cell biological techniques
• Strong practical experience with relevant techniques, e.g. ChIP, interactomics, gene expression
• Excellent communication skills and good team spirit
• Fluent in spoken and written English

Applications should include in a single PDF a 1-page cover letter, curriculum vitae, certificates of qualifications and the names and contact information of at least 2 professional references. Please send applications with the reference “Research Fellow DK” to:
