Job Description

Are you looking for a faculty position in a vibrant and well-resourced institute for cancer research? The Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI) has multiple openings for outstanding candidates from Assistant to Full Professor.

The CSI\'s mission is to better understand the causes of human cancer across Asia, and thereby improve its detection, treatment and prevention for the benefit of patients. Our purpose-built research institute is one of five core-funded Research Centres of Excellence established by the Government of Singapore. Our outstanding researchers and excellent facilities create an energetic environment for ground-breaking science and world-class training. We are hosted by the National University of Singapore, a globally leading research university, empowering multidisciplinary research that spans cutting-edge approaches from the biological, computational, physiochemical and engineering sciences. Our location adjacent to the National University Hospital enables strong synergies with clinicians for fundamental and translational investigation. We are internationally recognized for our innovative achievements in studying the biology of cancers prevalent in Asia, and taking new methods for their treatment from the laboratory to the clinic. Our local and global partnerships mean we work with leading minds from multiple scientific and clinical disciplines from Singapore, the USA and Europe, both within academia and in industry.

We now seek to expand our current faculty to complement existing strengths and seed new strategic directions. We welcome applications from highly qualified candidates working in any area of cancer research, but particularly encourage those with interests in the computational biology of cancer evolution, cancer immunology and immunotherapy, and epithelial cancer biology
