Opportunities
We are recruiting postdocs, PhD students (fully funded for 4 years, with monthly stipend, tuition fees and conference funding), and Research Assistants (master level). Also, we welcome all people who want to work with us (e.g., undergraduate students who are looking for research opportunities, healthcare workers or people in industry who are looking for collaborative opportunities). Please do not hesitant to contact us!
Following is the information for people who are interested in the three types of job opportunities (postdocs, PhD students, and Research Assistants):
Place of Work:
Our lab is located at Clinical Sciences Building, Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University (Novena Campus).
Research Interest:
Our research interest is on quantitatively understanding biological mechanisms of infection and its impact on both individual and population health. Particularly, we have been working to understand the viral dynamics at individual level and how it is associated with population level epidemiological dynamics. Using mathematical modelling and computer simulation as core approaches, we will connect basic biological mechanism of infection and infectious disease epidemiology and clinical studies, which would accelerate vaccine, drugs, and treatment development and provide a more comprehensive picture of the mechanisms behind the dynamics of infectious diseases (see “Projects” page).
Qualifications:
PhD candidates should have a MSc degree in a quantitative field, such as data science, computational biology, mathematics, computer science, (bio)statistics, or related field. Research experience and/or educational background on public health and medicine is a plus but not essential. Candidate with bachelor’s degree in the above disciplines with strong record of research will be considered. The candidate should have strong quantitative skills, or at least demonstrate interest in developing skills in statistics and infectious disease modelling.
Postdoc candidates should meet the above criteria and have a PhD degree in the above areas.
Research Assistant candidates should have a bachelor’s degree. Bachelor’s degrees in the above areas are preferred. Strong interest in the above areas is prerequisite.
Application: Interested candidates should send by email a current curriculum vitae and a scanned copy of transcript (if available). For further information about the above research opportunities, please contact Dr. Ejima.
