36 Postdoctoral Fellowship at National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore

 The Research Fellow will work in a recently granted project to develop enzymes and biotransformations for the synthesis of rare sugars.

•    The research tasks include engineering of new enzymes by directed evolution, investigation of enzyme catalysis and kinetics, optimization of biosynthesis yield and process, and development of single-step and/or one-pot cascade enzymatic reactions for the production of rare sugars.

We are looking for a dedicated and highly skilled Postdoctoral Fellow with a proven dual‑mode research profile capable of independently performing laboratory experiments and coding predictive AI models in Python to forecast biomaterial behaviour for use in dentistry. This is not a data-science-only position; prior hands-on experience in the production, characterization techniques of materials, and cell culture is required.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), currently serving as the primary energy storage devices for almost all portable electronics and electric vehicles, and now quickly expanding to large-scale grid storage, are dominating the energy storage market owing to their overall relatively high efficiency and reliability. However, their apparent limitations in energy density, poor safety record and long-term sustainability (i.e., limited resources for Li and key transition metals) are unable to meet the exponentially rising demands. The insolubility and insulating nature of the elemental sulfur and its discharge products along with the high solubility of intermediate polysulfides in the liquid electrolyte, lead to slow kinetics of polysulfide transformation and the “shuttle effect” during charge/discharge cycles. They result in rapid capacity fade upon cycling and poor rate performance. To address these challenges, in this project, we use an approach to employ catalytically active materials with high enough conductivity that can both effectively anchor and more importantly catalytically convert polysulfides in the sulfur cathode involving multistep reactions.
