Job Description

The candidate will work at the Centre for Advanced 2D Materials (CA2DM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) in a highly international and multidisciplinary environment with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, contributing to exciting advances at the intersection of biochemistry, materials science, and sensor technology.
is looking for a highly motivated and skilled Research Fellow (Senior Research Fellow) with a strong background in electrochemical sensor development. The ideal candidate will have expertise in sensor fabrication, analytical chemistry, and electrochemical techniques, with a focus on applications in biomedical diagnostics, including hormone detection and point-of-care systems.

The position requires a proactive professional with a wide vision from the academy through the industries.

The key responsibilities include
  • Design, fabricate, and characterize electrochemical sensors, including surface functionalization and performance testing (selectivity, sensitivity, reproducibility, and shelf life)
  • Perform laboratory validation using appropriate analytical methods and tools
  • Apply advanced electrochemical techniques such as Chronoamperometry (CA), Open Circuit Potential (OCP), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV), Square Wave Voltammetry (SWP), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)
  • Contribute to the development of sensors for hormone detection, with an emphasis on cortisol and related biomarkers
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate sensors into point-of-care diagnostic platforms
  • Analyze and interpret experimental data, and prepare technical reports, publications, or presentations
  • Utilize analytical methods (LC-MS, commercial assay kits) when appropriate and evaluate their performance in conjunction with custom sensor systems
  • Assess sensor performance under real-world or simulated clinical conditions
Qualifications and Requirements
  • Internationally-recognized PhD in Biotechnology, Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
  • In-depth knowledge and proven hands-on experience in electrochemical sensor development and analytical method validation
  • Strong background in analytical chemistry and electrodeposition techniques
  • Familiarity with clinical biomarkers and diagnostic workflows
  • Experience with hormone detection, particularly cortisol, is highly desirable
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment
  • Experience using commercial assay kits is a plus
  • Knowledge of sensor deployment in real-life conditions is preferred
  • Excellent chemical laboratory/safety practices
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
  • Publication record in relevant peer-reviewed journals
  • Knowledge of regulatory standards for diagnostic devices
  • Previous experience working in translational research or industry setting

The position is available for one year with a possible extension to two years or more. The salary and position depend on previous experience and academic degrees.
