Job Description

We are seeking one highly motivated and creative postdoctoral researcher to join our dynamic team at the Synthetic Biology for Clinical and Technological Innovation (SynCTI), Synthetic Biology Translational Research Programme, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS) and the National Centre for Engineering Biology (NCEB).  

The selected Research Fellow will work collaboratively with the Principal Investigator (PI) and our research team on projects aimed at advancing sustainable bioproduction. Appointments will be initially made on a 1-year contract, with the possibility of extension. PhD holders with no experience are welcome to apply.

Ideal candidates will possess expertise in metabolic pathway engineering, microbial engineering and the development of cell factories for bioproduction. We particularly encourage applicants with a background in metabolic engineering, genome editing and bioprocess development for biochemical production. The successful candidate will assume a pivotal role in advancing the frontier of synthetic biology to address real-world challenges.

Join us in shaping the future of innovative biotechnology and making significant progress towards sustainability and technological advancement!

Main Responsibilities:
The Research Fellow is expected to: 
1) Develop biological parts, genetic circuits, or tools for engineering microorganisms; 
2) Metabolically engineer microorganisms with high bioproduction capabilities for industrial applications in the production of value-added biochemicals;
3) Write papers together with the PI for publication in high-impact journals;
4) Mentor research assistants, graduate, and undergraduate students; 
5) Assist in any other duties delegated by the Principal Investigator and group leaders. 

Remuneration will be commensurate to the candidate's qualifications and experience. Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to Ms Suhana Sulaiman, at suhana_s@nus.edu.sg.

The School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) at NTU Singapore, in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research (WUR), is part of Singapore Indoor Farming System (SingFarm)—a CREATE-NRF programme focused on building a sustainable, data-driven food production model with strong industry relevance to contribute Singapore’s ambition in achieving 20 per cent local production of its fiber (vegetables, mushrooms etc.) by 2035. The candidate would be working in a multinational team at the forefront of Singapore’s agricultural innovation and food security.

The successful candidate will work in Work Package 3.3: Urban Demo Lab. In this role, you help translate research results from across the program into demonstrators and settings for collaborative exploration that allow key stakeholders to engage with emerging food production technologies – and each other. The Urban Demo Lab serves as a platform where researchers, industry partners, and other stakeholders explore applications, provide critical design feedback and identify opportunities for further innovation: it serves as an attractor for future projects and strategic alliances that maximize the urban impact of ongoing research and development.

As an innovation facilitator, your work provides the active interface that is needed between research, technology translation, and stakeholder engagement. By stimulating dialogue and collaborative learning, you identify critical friction zones and promising ways forward, effectively accelerating the uptake of scientific innovations in real-world applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with research teams to identify key elements of research suitable for demonstration.

• Facilitate workshops, meetings, and stakeholder sessions to explore research outcomes, gather feedback, and identify innovation opportunities.

• Translate scientific insights into demonstrators, prototypes, or other formats such as an overall performance dashboard that communicate application potential to diverse audiences.

• Contribute to identifying and engaging potential partners or funders interested in further development of promising ideas.

Job Requirements:

• Completed PhD in a relevant field (e.g., food systems, food production, sustainability transitions or related fields).

• Systems thinker with an interest in innovation in food production and controlled environment agriculture

• Experience translating scientific research into practical applications, demonstrators or stakeholder-facing outputs.
