Dr. W.S. Sho Goh graduated from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory with aPh.D. in Biological Science. He has more than 10 years of experience inRNA biology and his recent focus centers on developing high-resolutionepitranscriptomic sequencing technologies and investigating novelepitranscriptomic mechanisms. In 2018, he established his ownindependent laboratory at the Singapore Genome Research Institute, wherehe has won multiple research grants, published in prestigious journals(including Nature Communications, Nucleic Acids Research Genes &Development, PLoS Computational Biology, Cell etc) and filed patents forhis developed technologies.
The laboratory aims to: (1) Develop technologies to sequence notableepitranscriptomes at high resolution; (2) Identify novelepitranscriptomic factors and characterize mechanistically how theyregulate gene expression, cellular processes and human disorders.
Post- doctorate (2-5 people)
1. Job responsibilities:
(1) Complete the scientific research tasks assigned by theco-instructors, and publish high-level journal papers and apply for patents;
(2) Independently or assist in applying for scientific research grantsat home and abroad;
(3) Develop novel technologies for sequencing various RNA modificationsof interest at high resolution transcriptome-wide;
(4) Screen for novel epitranscriptomic factors (Writers, Erasers andReaders of RNA modifications) and investigate their mechanistic functions;
(5) Generate disease-specific epitranscriptomes to facilitate the studyof how epitranscriptomic defects contribute to human disorders.
2. Application conditions:
(1) Have a doctorate degree in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology,Biochemistry, Virology, etc. (in principle, the doctorate degree shouldnot be more than 3 years, and the age should not be more than 35 yearsold). Experience with Bioinformatics is preferred but not required.
