Research Officer, Computational Sciences (incl. AI), BII

This position will support an externally funded industry collaboration between the Bioinformatics Institute (BII) A*STAR and Procter & Gamble (P&G) focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying surfactant antimicrobial activity. The Research Officer will contribute to computational molecular simulation studies investigating how surfactants and surfactant blends interact with Gram-negative bacterial outer membranes. The project will apply coarse‑grained and multiscale molecular dynamics simulations to characterise membrane insertion, lipid disruption, micelle behaviour, and other molecular processes relevant to antimicrobial efficacy.

The work will involve close collaboration with A*STAR researchers and industry scientists from P&G. The role will contribute to an externally funded translational research programme aimed at generating mechanistic insights that can support formulation design and surfactant optimisation.
