The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) trains doctors who put patients at the centre of their exemplary care. The School, which offers both undergraduate and graduate programmes, is named after local philanthropist Tan Sri Dato Lee Kong Chian. Established in 2010 by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in partnership with Imperial College London, LKCMedicine aims to be a model for innovative medical education and a centre for transformative research. The School’s primary clinical partner is the National Healthcare Group, a leader in public healthcare recognised for the quality of its medical expertise, facilities and teaching. The School is transitioning to an NTU medical school ahead of the 2028 successful conclusion of the NTU-Imperial partnership to set up a Joint Medical School. In August 2024, we welcomed our first intake of the NTU MBBS programme, that has been recently enhanced to include themes like precision medicine and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, with an expanded scope in the medical humanities. Graduates from the five-year undergraduate medical degree programme will have a strong understanding of the scientific basis of medicine, with an emphasis on technology, data science and the humanities.The laboratory of Asst Prof Liang Kun (Skin Bioengineering and Devices Lab) at LKCMedicine (Novena Campus) is seeking a highly motivated research fellow to work on the development of cutaneous delivery systems and skin-interfacing diagnostics.Key Responsibilities:Lead the development of new and multifunctional approaches for minimally-invasive skin delivery and diagnosticsPerform high-quality research and disseminate findings through peer-reviewed publications and academic conferences.Initiate new collaborations with external stakeholdersAssist in lab management matters including safety and procurementSupervise and train junior members of the teamKey Competencies and Qualification Requirements:PhD degree in Bioengineering, Material Science, Biomedical Sciences, Chemistry or related fieldsExperience (2+ years) in biomaterial design, not limited to material functionalization, characterizations, biofabrication and biosensingDemonstrated strong knowledge in the field of bioengineering, cutaneous delivery and diagnostics or related field with first-authored publications in high impact scientific journalsStrong verbal and written communication skills and ability to write research reports, grants, publish and review publicationsSelf-driven, highly motivated and organizedHiring Institution: LKC
