Strong fit for senior microfabrication or cleanroom leaders who want to enable mechanobiology research at a large Singapore research university, comfortable owning people, processes, and instruments rather than a single PI lab only.
As Head of the Microfabrication Core at NUS’s Mechanobiology Institute, a typical day balances core operations and science support: prioritising fabrication queues, reviewing process capability and safety for micro/nano devices used in mechanobiology, mentoring technical staff, aligning equipment and methods with principal investigators, and reporting capacity, quality, and resource needs to institute leadership.
Build depth in cleanroom process flows (lithography, etch, deposition, metrology), lab safety and quality systems, facility scheduling, and stakeholder communication with multi-PI labs. No certificate package was supplied in the job data; prioritise demonstrated core-facility leadership and hands-on microfab experience over generic courses.
No. The listing is for Singapore on-site work at NUS (remote flag 0).
It is a shared facility supporting device and structure fabrication for mechanobiology research groups at the institute, under university governance.
