Mandai Nature is a non-profit conservation organisation based in Singapore, working on biodiversity protection across Asia. This three-year contract role sits within a research team focused on translational biobanking, involving laboratory work with wildlife-derived samples and conservation biotechnology. It suits a recent doctoral graduate with strong hands-on lab skills who can work independently on assigned project components while collaborating closely with a Principal Investigator and colleagues.
What you'll do: • Plan and carry out experiments agreed with the Principal Investigator, covering cell culture, cryopreservation, molecular biology, microscopy, image analysis and data interpretation. • Develop hypotheses, experimental plans and troubleshooting approaches for defined project components. • Keep up with relevant literature and apply suitable methods to improve experimental design, reproducibility and interpretation. • Process, culture, cryopreserve and recover wildlife-derived tissues, cells and other biological materials following approved SOPs and quality-control criteria. • Support taxon-specific optimisation of primary cell isolation, culture conditions, banking, thawing, viability assessment and sample tracking. • Maintain accurate sample records, laboratory notebooks and metadata for assigned samples and experiments. • Contribute to iPSC-related workflows, stem-cell characterisation, differentiation assays, disease-relevant cell models or other conservation biotechnology platforms as assigned. • Perform molecular and cellular assays such as DNA/RNA isolation, qRT-PCR, sequencing-related preparation or interpretation, protein analysis, western blotting, immunostaining, FISH, microscopy and image analysis. • Analyse wet-lab and dry-lab outputs rigorously, documenting limitations and technical uncertainties. • Contribute scientific content, preliminary data, methods, figures, literature summaries and progress updates for grant applications, donor proposals and funder reports. • Support milestone tracking for assigned project components. • Prepare concise updates on progress, risks, troubleshooting and next steps for the Principal Investigator and project team. • Work collaboratively with internal laboratory colleagues, veterinary teams, bioinformatics colleagues, students and external collaborators on assigned research activities. • Participate actively in lab meetings, project discussions, protocol reviews and cross-disciplinary problem solving. • Support partner-facing scientific activities where experimental detail or technical explanation is required. • Provide technical guidance to research assistants, interns or students on specific methods, experiments, documentation and data handling. • Support laboratory workflow, reagent preparation, equipment use, procurement inputs, consumables monitoring and safe day-to-day operations as needed. • Model rigorous, reproducible and ethical laboratory practice for junior team members. •
