R **Join Our Team at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore**The School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at NTU Singapore hosts research and education activities in two divisions: Division of Mathematical Sciences (MAS) and Division of Physics and Applied Physics (PAP).
MAS covers diverse topics ranging from pure mathematics to the applications of mathematics in cryptography, computing, business, and finance.
PAP covers many areas of fundamental and applied physics, including quantum information, condensed matter physics, biophysics, and photonics.
Over the years, SPMS has attracted talented individuals from around the world and Singapore to join as scientific leaders and researchers.**Position Available:** **Research Fellow****Key Responsibilities:**The research fellow will* Utilize recently developed mathematical tools from algebraic topology, combinatorial topology, computational topology, and differential geometry (e.g., Betti numbers, Hodge-Laplacian, discrete Ricci curvature) to characterize and model biopolymers such as DNA and RNA.* Develop simplicial models for molecular representation, featurization, and learning, particularly in the context of nucleic acids such as DNA, G-quadruple, to better understand form-function relationship in biology.* Uses molecular modeling and AI (using e.g., the SMILES protocol) to quickly and accurately assess compounds with Essential Physicochemical Properties for drug design and development.* Translate research findings into practical applications in pharmacology.* Perform numerical simulations on deep learning workstations and National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore.**Job Requirements:**Our project is looking for a highly motivated and qualified RF with the ambition of producing high quality research that can be published in high impact journals.
Specific requirements:* PhD from a reputable university with knowledge in biophysics and statistical mechanics.* Good publication track record.* Expertise in numerical simulations, particularly Monte Carlo simulations and molecular dynamics simulations.* Ability to code and run simulations on supercomputers.The College of Science seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity.
We welcome applications from all and recruit on the basis of merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status and family responsibilities, or disability.We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.Hiring Institution: NTUNTU is also home to world-class autonomous institutes – the National Institute of Education, S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Earth Observatory of Singapore, and Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering – and various leading research centres such as the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute (NEWRI) and Energy Research Institute @ NTU ( ).Ranked amongst the world’s top universities by QS, NTU has also been named the world’s top young university for the past seven years.
The University’s main campus is frequently listed among the Top 15 most beautiful university campuses in the world and has 57 Green Mark-certified (equivalent to LEED-certified) buildings, of which 95% are certified Green Mark Platinum.
Apart from its main campus, NTU also has a campus in Novena, Singapore’s healthcare district.Under the NTU Smart Campus vision, the University harnesses the power of digital technology and tech-enabled solutions to support better learning and living experiences, the discovery of new knowledge, and the sustainability of resources.For more information, visit
