Research Associate

Our ultimate aim is to learn and translate natural metabolism into innovative biotechnologies to meet the ever-increasing demands of high-value chemicals. Our current projects involve discovering biosynthetic enzymes and pathways, generating alkaloid structural and functional diversities, and re-constituting natural product metabolism in synthetic biology chassis. This position is dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field of biocatalysis, with a specific focus on harnessing the catalytic power of plant-derived enzymes. We are currently seeking a highly motivated and innovative Research Associate to contribute to our cutting-edge research in plant-derived biocatalysis.

Applicants should be at the rank of a Research Associate (or equivalent). They must have experience in writing proposals, securing grants, managing budgets, driving results, taking quality publications from conception to completion, securing intellectual property, managing a patent portfolio, and establishing mutually-beneficial collaborations with academia, government agencies, and/or industry. As a future leader, they must have great technical and non-technical communication skills.

The Research Associate must hold a PhD in chemistry or related field. They will be working independently and in the team under the supervision of the line manager (Dr. Thu-Thuy Dang), and collaborating with colleagues from the group as well as other research groups. They will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the project, including experimental planning and execution, data collection and analysis, discussion and presentations in various meetings (lab meetings, conferences, workshops, etc.), report/publication writing, and related duties. The position holder is also expected to supervise, train, and advise students and other junior lab members, as well as deliver guest lectures. The post holder will be advised by the principal investigator, Dr. Thu-Thuy Dang, in regular one-to-one meetings and relevant discussion channels.

We support inclusivity and equity. We seek qualified applicants from all backgrounds (cultural, gender, racial, etc.) to ensure that our team gets the best talents and reflects the diversity and inclusion of our campus.
