The role supports cancer research through quantitative proteomics, including biological sample preparation, mass spectrometry workflows, data analysis, experiment planning, documentation and maintenance of laboratory equipment. Applicants typically need a relevant degree in life sciences, biochemistry, biotechnology, chemistry or a related discipline; a postgraduate qualification may be preferred for Associate-level appointments. Experience with proteomics, LC-MS/MS, protein chemistry, bioinformatics or cancer biology is advantageous. Candidates are expected to work accurately and independently, follow laboratory safety and quality procedures, analyse and present results clearly, maintain reliable records, and collaborate effectively with researchers and core-facility users.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship comprehensive university and one of Asia’s leading research institutions. It offers education and research across science, medicine, engineering, computing, business, law, the humanities and other disciplines. NUS has a strong international profile, extensive industry partnerships and a major focus on translating research into societal and economic impact. The Cancer Science Institute of Singapore is a leading biomedical research centre within NUS, bringing together scientists and clinicians to investigate cancer biology, diagnosis and treatment. Its Quantitative Proteomics Core provides specialised expertise, instrumentation and analytical support for protein-based research. Working at NUS can offer exposure to advanced facilities, multidisciplinary projects, international collaborators and a diverse academic community.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in biomedical research, healthcare, universities, technology, finance and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, and the culture is multicultural, efficient and generally respectful, with Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences. The lifestyle is convenient and safe, supported by excellent public transport, healthcare and digital services. Housing can be expensive, especially near the central districts and major universities, so newcomers often compare shared apartments, university accommodation and suburban areas. Foreign professionals usually require an appropriate work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass or training-related permit; the employer normally submits the application to the Ministry of Manpower. Research staff should confirm the specific pass, contract conditions and eligibility before relocating. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. International airports, regional connectivity and welcoming expatriate communities make it a practical base for living and research in Asia.
