Postdoctoral Fellow in Molecular Neuroscience

Nanyang Technological University in Singapore invites applications for postdoctoral fellow position in a Molecular Neuroscience laboratory

Applicants are invited to apply for research scientist position (postdoctoral fellow) in the laboratory of Assistant Professor Ch’ng Toh Hean in the Nanyang Technological University Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine Clinical Science Building situated in Novena, Singapore.

The Ch’ng lab is a molecular neuroscience lab interested in understanding the cell biology of transcription-dependent plasticity. Using a range of molecular and cellular techniques, we elucidate how stimulated cells, at the level of a single cell and also as part of a larger network, undergo persistent changes that ultimately lead to experience-dependent rewiring of the brain. To that end, our lab uses both wild type and dementia mouse models to study the basic biology of memory, and how deficits in cellular mechanisms can lead to memory disorders. Our lab uses a multidisciplinary approach to answer some of these outstanding questions in different neuronal preparations. Among the techniques we regularly employ include live cell microscopy, protein biochemistry,  multiomics studies using various sequencing  platforms, neuronal physiology, etc.

While we are interested in recruiting for a postdoctoral researcher, multiple positions are also available at different levels of academic achievements (Bachelor’s degree, etc.).

Candidates who are interested in pursuing a Ph.D program via the School of Medicine are encouraged to write and contact me at the email below.
