A postdoctoral research position is available in the immune imaging laboratory at the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN). The postdoctoral fellow will have access to state-of-the-art multiphoton microscope and other core facilities, including confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, antibody production and genomics platforms.

The primary research focus in Dr Ng Lai Guan’s laboratory is to study how immune cells exert their functions in the context of intact organs by intravital multiphoton microscopy.
Using a combination of functional and in vivo imaging studies, we aim to determine the sequence of cellular and molecular events occur during inflammatory response. We believe that better understanding of these processes may lead to novel therapeutic targets for allergy and infectious diseases.

Requirements
This position is intended for the candidate with a PhD, who has experience in the field of immunology/infectious disease research. Experience in confocal or multiphoton imaging and in vivo mouse models is highly desirable.

To apply: Candidates with strong interest in this research are encouraged to submit their CV, statements of current and future research interests and contact information of three references to Dr Lai Guan NG (email: ng_lai_guan@immunol.a-star.edu.sg).

An initiative of the Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) of the Agency for Science, Technology & Research (A*STAR), the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN) has setup its premise at the Biopolis, Immunos building (6000sqmt and ~150-200 researchers).

Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN) aims to build up a strong program in immunology research in order to improve global understanding of the human immune system, and the translation of this knowledge into medical applications.  Learn more about SIgN at http://www.sign.a-star.edu.sg/
