About the role

Join the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at NTU, working with Wageningen University & Research on the SingFarm programme, which aims to build a sustainable, data-driven food production model for Singapore. The role focuses on receptor-centric signalling, protein-protein interactions and bioengineering of receptor proteins to improve disease resistance in Brassica for indoor farming. It suits a plant biotechnology or biochemistry researcher who enjoys molecular lab work and being part of a multinational team.
