Job Description

We are looking for highly motivated and talented individual with passion in oncology and genomics research to join the Precision Radiation Oncology Program and the Data and Computational Science Core at the National Cancer Centre Singapore. You will primarily work with the Principal Investigator (PI) and the current research and clinical teams. The selected individual is expected to contribute actively to our genomics and radiomics research that is focused on using electronic medical records, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and radiological imaging datasets to developing biomarkers predictive of clinical responses in cancer patients. Specifically, the Research Fellow will be expected to perform genomics and radiomics data processing, statistical analyses, feature extraction for statistical/machine learning and survival analysis, and other relevant computational analyses to better understand the complexity of cancer progression and treatment resistance of head and neck and prostate cancers. You will also be required to guide research discussions with other scientists and mentor students. There will also be ample opportunities for inter-departmental and cross-institution collaborations with oncologists, pathologists, and scientists.
