The Central Imaging Facility at the Institute of Molecular and Cell
Biology (IMCB), Agency of
Science and Technology Research (A*STAR), Republic of Singapore,
invites applications for a
senior / postdoctoral research fellow position in the area of
computational bio-image analysis and
imaging informatics. The successful candidate will join a
multi-disciplinary research team led by
Dr. Weimiao Yu. The team is focused on understanding basic mechanisms
of cell migration
through the development of quantitative and automated image analysis
methods applicable to live
cell imaging.

IMCB has a strong focus on internationally competitive fundamental
research as well as on
translational outreach towards clinical and industrial applications.
The Central Imaging Facility is a
multi-disciplinary facility with a wide range of expertises, notably
in computer vision and image
processing, especially when applied to cell biology, developmental
biology, systems biology and
clinical medicine. State of the art computer and microscopy facilities
are available.

Singapore has become a leading hub for life sciences research and
continually sees substantial
private and state-sponsored investment in science. Singapore is a
vibrant, multi-faceted and
culturally rich state, ideally located in the centre of South East Asia.

The successful candidate will have the following credentials:
• Ph.D. degree in a field relevant or applicable to image processing
and computer vision
