A motivated and independent molecular biology R&D postdoc scientist is sought to work on the development of the next generation of molecular nucleic acid disease diagnosis kits. The ideal candidate will have at a minimum, demonstrated biochemistry and molecular biology expertise and experience with PCR and Real Time-PCR diagnostic technology. The successful candidate will design nucleic acid amplification primer and probes for infectious disease pathogens, develop/optimize molecular diagnostic assays for human infectious diseases and incorporate the developed assay chemistry into the integrated diagnostic device, validate the diagnostic device using well-characterized clinical samples. The experience of fluorescence-based real time PCR measurement, and handling BSL-2 and viral culture is highly desirable. The successful applicant must work within an integrated multidisciplinary laboratory and be able to work with other scientists, technicians and students in the team. In addition, the technician will be expected to interact and work effectively with a demanding, fast-paced biotech startup environment.

Required Skills:
-Demonstrated experience with PCR, real time PCR methods
and hand-on experience of PCR assay development, optimization and clinical validation
-Viral culturing
-Excellent presentation and written skills
-Excellent team working and communication skill

Desired Skills:
-Familiarity with phylogenetic, nucleic acid primer/probe design software
-Enzyme kinetic and/or structural analysis is highly desirable
-Experience with human BSL-2/3 pathogen is highly desirable

All applicants must state their relevant BSL-2, PCR and real time PCR experience (including primer design) or/and viral culturing in detail to be considered further….
