Research Assistant/Associate, Data Science [LKCMedicine]
NTU Novena Campus, Singapore
Nanyang Technological University
Nanyang Technological University is one of the top universities in Singapore offering undergraduate and postgraduate education in engineering, business, science, humanities, arts, social sciences, education and medicine.Research Assistant/Associate position in Asst Prof Keisuke Ejima's lab at LKCMedicine.
Research project: Connecting within-host viral dynamics with the epidemiology of COVID-19: a multiscale computational infrastructure
In this project, we aim to develop a multiscale modeling framework and computational infrastructure to connect within-host viral dynamics and between-host transmission dynamics. The multiscale model will help address key epidemiological and public health questions which could not be answered by classic (single scale) approaches. Specifically, we plan to develop and calibrate the multiscale model for SARS-CoV-2 and assess effect of intervention (e.g., antiviral treatment) on epidemiological dynamics. This project is led by Keisuke Ejima, an Assistant Professor at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University.
The successful applicant will work as part of a growing and energetic team, focusing on quantitatively understanding biological mechanisms of infection and its impact on both individual and population health.

Requirements: Candidates should have a Bachelor’s degree (for Assistant) or Master's degree (for Associate) 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. Computational experience on R is preferred. Good communication skill and respectful attitude for teamwork.
