Research Assistant for Reproductive Evolution Lab, Department of Biological Sciences, NUS
In our lab, we study reproductive trait divergence and its consequences for biodiversity. Why do the sexes look and behave so different? How does sexual selection on males and females facilitate speciation? We are interested in how reproductive traits respond to selection by studying the underlying genetic variation and fitness consequences associated with variation in trait expression.
We use insects as our model systems and study particularly widespread species across large geographical clines. We are looking for a full-time Research Assistant to join our lab.

Requirements and responsibilities
  • Degree in biology, environmental science or a related field as well as an interest in ecology and evolution.
  • Prior experience of working in a molecular lab (e.g: DNA/RNA extraction, amplification, sequencing, analysis etc.).
  • Written and verbal competency in English as well as an ability to work collaboratively with many people.
  • Keen on working with and maintaining insects for research purposes. Fieldwork experience is desirable but absence is not a preclusion.
  • Conscientious and responsible. The job will require attention to details and day-to-day management of data, students and laboratory work, including training of new students in the lab.
  • Statistical background as well as proficiency in R programming and SPSS are preferred.
Application details
  • Deadline for application is 25 Feb 2019.
  • The position is for 1 year (with the potential for renewal).
  • Applicants should be ready to start as soon as possible or by the end of April.
  • Salary will be dependent on qualifications and includes CPF contributions for Singaporeans/PR (Approx. $3000).
  • If interested, submit your CV and a short write-up about why you want this job and how you could contribute to the lab. Send both in a single email to dbsnp@nus.edu.sg with CC to dbshqh@nus.edu.sg (include the following in the subject head: RA application Your_name).
  • Short-listed applicants will be notified for an interview in early March.​
