Fully Funded PhD Positions in Viral Immunopathogenesis, Virology, Immunology, and Multi-omics at Nanyang Technological University Singapore Nanyang Technological University Singapore in Singapore

Fully funded PhD positions are open in the Viral Immunopathogenesis Lab (JChen Lab) at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University Singapore. The project sits at the intersection of virology, immunology, medical science, neuroscience, and multi-omics, with research themes including viral-induced neurodevelopmental disorders and brain calcification, viral-induced bone loss and arthritis, and host-virus interactions with immune dysregulation.

The post emphasizes a collaborative, high-impact research environment and advanced training in virology and immunology. It is especially relevant for candidates interested in mechanism-driven biomedical research, host-pathogen biology, and disease pathways affecting the brain and musculoskeletal system.

Eligible backgrounds mentioned in the post include biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, other engineering disciplines, materials science, chemistry, and cellular and molecular biology. The lab also looks for applicants with a strong molecular/cellular biology foundation, curiosity, rigor, and an independent mindset.

This is a fully funded PhD opportunity; no stipend amount or deadline is stated in the post. To apply, interested candidates should email Prof Weiqiang Chen with a CV and a brief statement of research interests.
