Opportunity: Faculty position at the Bioinformatics Institute @ Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) -- Singapore
BACKGROUND
The Bioinformatics Institute (BII), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) is seeking outstanding faculties in clinical data science research.

The Bioinformatics Institute (BII) is a computational biology research and postgraduate training institute as well as a national resource centre in bioinformatics within the Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) of A*STAR. Our scientists aim to understand the biomolecular mechanisms that underlie biomedical phenomena by developing sophisticated computational methods to support discovery from a secure and sustainable data hub to cross-disciplinary AI/ML analysis and data integration. We analyse a wide spectrum of biological and clinical data, including omics data (biomolecular sequences, expression profiles, epigenetics data), 3D structures of macromolecules, and biological tissue and macroscopic images from local and international academic, hospital and industry collaborators, public resources and also from in-house efforts. The institute has a vibrant and diverse research portfolio that includes infectious diseases, computational toxicology, precision medicine, oncology and drug discovery.
