NTU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine is hiring a Research Fellow to join the Hwei-Ee Tan lab. You will study the fundamental biological basis of the gut-brain axis, investigating how diet and microbiome factors influence physiology and behavior in mice. Your role involves co-creating impactful discoveries in microbiome gut-brain neuroscience, requiring specialized expertise in either in vivo imaging or gnotobiotic studies.
What You'll Do
- Commit to co-create impactful discoveries in the microbiome gut-brain neuroscience field.
- Be exceptionally motivated, possess core skills for animal and lab work, and be willing to work in a team and help with essential lab duties.
What We're Looking For
- A doctoral (PhD) degree in neuroscience or relevant disciplines with a strong publication track record.
- Ability to lead impactful work within the lab’s research theme on the microbiome gut-brain neuroscience.
- Proficiency in mice/rodent handling, optogenetics and behaviors, animal surgery and dissection.
- Demonstrated experience and specialized expertise in multiphoton/2-photon in vivo calcium imaging and data analysis, or in gnotobiotic studies and microbiome analysis/bioinformatics.
- A highly motivated and conscientious individual who can work independently and with a team, willing to teach, learn, and assist with essential lab duties.
