(Senior) Post Doctoral Position for Polymer Chemists (Singapore)
The Centre for Antimicrobial Bioengineering at the School of Chemical and Biomedical
Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) is seeking candidates to work as
(Senior) Post‐Doctoral researchers to design and synthesize cationic multiblock polymers
such as alpha‐polypeptides, ATRP or RAFT polymers, beta polypeptides, polyphosphorester,
etc and their conjugates which will be used antimicrobial drugs.
The candidate will work in an integrated team of Microbiologists and Chemists to design and
synthesize new antimicrobial polymers/peptides/copolymers/polysaccharides that will
inhibit Gram negative and Gram positive pathogens as well as Mycobacteria and fungal
pathogens. The goal is to design and synthesize active compounds, that are non‐toxic to
mammalian cells, and that represent lead compounds for drug development.
Environment
The work will be conducted within the Centre for Antimicrobial Bioengineering (CAMB) in
collaboration with the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences and Engineering
(SCELSE). CAMB has core expertise in polymer synthesis and structure‐property activity
studies. The polymer synthesis involves various synthetic chemical methods such as living
cationic polymerization, ring opening metathesis, ATRP, glycochemistry, RAFT, NCA, block
copolymer chemistry and physics, etc.
Responsibilities
The candidate will work with PhD students as well as research staff to achieve the project
goals
Will develop and execute experiments aimed at the synthesis, self‐assembly and modification
of novel antimicrobial block copolymers, polysaccharides and polypeptides.
Prepare technical reports for the program PIs and present data at regular group meetings
Draft research publications
Assist with organization and management of the research team
Requirements
PhD in organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, or peptide chemistry.
Expertise in polymer and polypeptide synthesis methods such as living polymerization,
glycochemistry, NCA, ATRP, RAFT, NCA, ring‐opening, etc.
Capacity to develop and interpret polymer structure‐assembly relationship, antimicrobial
activity and polymer self‐assembly behavior.
Expertise in developing and interpreting experiments for design and synthesis of novel
antimicrobial block polymers/peptides.
Strong track record of publication in related disciplines
Ability to work in a multidisciplinary team
Good interpersonal and communication skills, oral and written, as well as organizational
Remuneration & Enviroment
Highly competitive remuneration and strong research environment with collaborations with
top scientists (from MIT, UCSB, U. Washington, etc).
