A*SRL FELLOW PROGRAMME

The A*STAR Skin Research Labs (A* SRL) Fellowship Programme aims to identify, mentor and nurture aspiring junior researchers in the fields of skin and/or hair research. The programme provides exceptionally talented and promising junior scientists, with a background in skin research or related areas, the opportunity to set up and independently run their own research laboratory. Candidates should have between 3- and 5-years of post-doctoral experience and a proven track record of impactful research to be competitive for future fellowship funding.

A* SRL aims to create a translation-focused, clinically oriented, technology-proving, interdisciplinary R&D environment that encourages its scientific talent to interact with industry partners and the clinical community, translating their science into improved healthcare outcomes to support skin and hair health, and mitigate disease.

Our strategic research areas include:

  • Skin Disease, including inflammatory and pigmentary disorders, and the role of the cutaneous microbiome in skin health and disease
  • Skin Health & Ageing, including all aspects of hair biology and consumer hair care
  • Skin Technology, including non-invasive imaging and biosensors (non-invasive tech can be applied to any healthcare field)

Successful A* SRL Fellows will be offered financial support, space, and resources in a stimulating and nurturing environment with access to state-of-the-art research facilities for a period of 3 years, during which time they should secure competitive fellowship funding. Candidates must show exceptional promise to develop into world-class researchers and strengthen key strategic research areas of the Institute. Experience in bioinformatics would also be of interest.

Job Description

The successful candidate(s) will:

  • Develop and run independent research projects or programmes that enhance the research portfolio of A* SRL, under the direction of the Executive Director and research theme leads
  • Drive their team's experimental planning and oversee data analysis to generate competitive grant applications, high quality, peer-reviewed manuscripts, and development of intellectual property (a patent portfolio) and meaningful collaborations with industry &/or clinical partners
  • Translate user-inspired basic research into applied solutions to promote skin and hair health or mitigate skin/hair disease

Job Requirements

Applicants should have:

  • A PhD in skin or hair biology (or aligned specialty), with between 3- to 5-years post-doctoral research experience
  • A proven research track record with evidence of high impact publication and presentation at international and national (skin) conferences
  • Evidenced experience in contributing to secured funding
  • A working understanding of team management and developing research strategies and plans
  • A working understanding of resource, manpower and budget planning

Additional qualifications desired:

  • An analytical mind for innovation and complex problem solving
