Jobbeschreibung

Join Our Team at the School of Biological Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

The School of Biological Sciences (SBS), part of the College of Science at Nanyang Technological University, was established in 2002 with a mission to advance excellence in biological and biomedical sciences. Our research spans diverse and impactful areas including infectious diseases, immunology, neurodegenerative disorders, telomere biology, and genome function. SBS is home to a vibrant, international community of scientific leaders, researchers, and professionals dedicated to innovation, discovery, and education.

Join the laboratory of Asst Prof Loh Jia Tong at the School of Biological Sciences. We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our immunology research laboratory investigating early-life innate immune mechanisms in health and disease. Our research focuses on understanding how innate immune cells shape host defence, tissue development, and repair during early life and how these processes influence susceptibility to infectious and inflammatory diseases.

We integrate state-of-the-art mouse models, high-dimensional immune profiling, single-cell genomics, and functional immunology approaches to uncover fundamental mechanisms driving development and disease pathogenesis.
