[SG] Research Assistant - Computational Biology
Hiring Organization: National University of Singapore (NUS) - Yale-NUS College
Location: Kent Ridge Campus, Singapore
The goal of this project is to investigate and develop computer algorithms that can automatically detect/localise vehicles and humans as well as to recognise their colours from videos, which are degraded by nighttime, low-light, and rain conditions. The duty of the research engineering is to help the team to accomplish the goal by completing the milestones through his/her research. Concretely, the milestones include setting-up cameras, data collection, algorithm development, implementation/coding, experimenting/analysing the developed algorithms, and writing reports. While publishing papers in top international conferences/journals is not compulsory, it is strongly encouraged. The research engineer also has responsibilities to work together with the principal investigator as well as with the lab members.
The laboratory of Asst. Prof. Nathan Harmston at Yale-NUS is currently recruiting a Computational Biology Research Assistant to work in the area of omics data integration and analysis. We are looking for a motivated Computational Biologist with an interest in gene regulation, cancer and omics integration/analysis.
