Research Assistant Position
A position for Research Assistant is available in the group of Dr. Gijsbert Grotenbreg. The successful candidate will be a member of this dynamic new laboratory that is located in the recently refurbished Centre for Life Sciences at the National University of Singapore.
The research of the Grotenbreg group focuses on the mechanisms that drive pathogen virulence and the host's immune response. Working at the interface of chemistry, biology and immunology, we create diagnostic tools and small molecule modulators of complex biological systems. This includes the development of novel methods for the identification and retrieval of cells of the immune system, as well as expanding the breadth and scope of protein labeling strategies.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Immunology and Translational Medicine
Applications are invited from postdoctoral fellows with substantial relevant experience in immunology and/or genetics to coordinate and grow a collaborative translational research programme in autoimmunity between the National University of Singapore and associated hospitals, and the University of Cambridge. Both partners have excellent facilities and a strong commitment to basic immunology and translational medicine (e.g. Nat Med 2005;11:1056, Science 2006;314:454, PNAS 2007;104:7169, Nat Imm 2007;8:419, J Immunol 2007;178:4771, J Exp Med 2008;205:883). The position is funded by the National Medical Research Council for up to 3 years.
The post will be based at the NUS, and applicants may spend up to a month per year in Cambridge. The programme involves flow cytometry, cellular assays, and microarray analysis of samples from patients with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, to understand disease pathogenesis and discover therapeutic targets and biomarkers (e.g. BMC Genomics 2007;8:64, J Exp Med 2008;205:1573-82). The appointee will have the opportunity to supervise students and technical staff, to liaise with clinical collaborators, and to develop or enhance skills in bioinformatics through a link with the EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute at Cambridge.
To apply for this position please send by email a CV, list of publications and covering letter including a short summary of previous research, together with the names and contact details of 3 referees, to micbox4@nus.edu.sg.
Further information about the Immunology Programme and University of Cambridge can be found on our website, http://immunology.nus.edu.sg/ and http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/nephrology/research/kgcslab.html respectively. We welcome informal enquiries sent to Prof. Mike Kemeny (mickdm@nus.edu.sg), Dr. Paul Macary (micpam@nus.edu.sg) or Prof. Ken Smith (kgcs2@cam.ac.uk).
Closing Date: 31st December 2008
