Job Description
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Research Assistant to join the newly established Yeow Lab at the Cancer Science Institute (CSI), National University of Singapore. This is a unique opportunity to help build a lab from the ground up and play an active role in shaping its culture.
Cell division is fundamental to life, but when dysregulated, it drives cancer. Our lab aims to uncover cancer-specific vulnerabilities within the cell division machinery and translate these insights into new therapeutic strategies. We are also deeply interested in the TRIM family of E3 ubiquitin ligases and how they regulate large protein assemblies involved in mitosis, immune signalling, and protein homeostasis.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both hands-on scientific work and the organizational side of research — managing workflows, maintaining structure, and enabling others to succeed. You will work closely with the Principal Investigator to set up the lab, support daily operations, and contribute to ongoing projects.
As a new lab, we are committed to fostering a dynamic, collaborative, and scientifically rigorous environment. We welcome curiosity-driven individuals excited to make foundational discoveries aimed at understanding and combating cancer.
Duties & Responsibilities
1. Laboratory Commissioning & Setup
Work with the Principal Investigator (PI) to set up and organize the lab space, including equipment procurement, installation, and calibration.
Establish and maintain laboratory standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Coordinate with institutional facilities, vendors, and IT to ensure operational readiness.
Oversee inventory and handle procurement of lab supplies and reagents.
2. Experimental Research Support
Perform routine cell and molecular biology experiments, including mammalian cell culture, cloning, and immunoblotting.
Assist with ongoing experiments led by other lab members, with training provided where needed.
3. Data Collection & Analysis
Collect, organize, and document data using electronic lab notebooks (ELN).
4. Collaborative & Administrative Tasks
Provide operational support to lab members and contribute to the smooth coordination of projects.
Ensure compliance with institutional safety and operational guidelines.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in the Life Sciences (e.g., Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, or related fields)
Prior experience in lab setup and management is strongly preferred.
Strong organizational and time-management skills.
A passion for biology and an enthusiasm for contributing to CSI’s mission to combat cancer
Interested applicants are encouraged to apply through NUS Career Portal.
