This role involves conducting research into biological biomarkers associated with ageing, likely within a laboratory or biomedical research programme at the National University of Singapore. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in biology, biochemistry, biomedical science, genetics, medicine, or a related discipline, with relevant research experience. Practical expertise in molecular biology, cell culture, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, or statistical analysis may be valuable. The successful candidate should be able to design experiments, analyse and interpret data, prepare manuscripts and presentations, maintain accurate research records, and collaborate effectively with investigators and other research staff. Strong scientific writing, problem-solving skills, independence, and attention to laboratory safety and research integrity are expected.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship comprehensive university and one of Asia’s leading institutions for education, research, and innovation. It offers programmes across a broad range of disciplines and maintains strong partnerships with government agencies, hospitals, companies, and international universities. NUS has a particularly strong profile in biomedical science, medicine, engineering, technology, and interdisciplinary research. Its research community includes academic faculty, research fellows, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and professional staff working in modern laboratories and specialist centres. The university supports research addressing major global challenges, including healthy ageing, disease prevention, sustainability, and digital transformation. Employees typically benefit from an international working environment, access to research facilities, professional development opportunities, and collaboration with experts from Singapore and overseas.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with strong opportunities in biomedical research, healthcare, universities, technology, finance, engineering, and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil are also official languages. The culture combines Southeast Asian traditions with a fast-paced, international lifestyle; food centres, shopping districts, parks, museums, and coastal areas provide varied leisure options. Public transport is efficient, safe, and affordable, although accommodation can be expensive, especially near central areas. Professionals usually need an employment pass, with applications normally handled by the sponsoring employer; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, and prevailing regulations. Relocating workers should arrange housing, healthcare coverage, banking, and tax registration. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. NUS is located in the southwest, with convenient links to residential and commercial districts.
