Duration & Start Date: 12–24 months, starting 1 Jan 2026

We are seeking a motivated Research Assistant (RA) to join a cutting-edge project developing a time-division multiplexed (TDM) radioluminescent dosimetry system (TDM-LuSy) for real-time in-vivo patient dose monitoring. This is a hands-on role combining prototype development, electronics, embedded systems, and software interface work.

---

Project Overview

The TDM-LuSy project will develop multi-sensor plastic scintillator–radioluminescent (PSD-RL) detectors coupled with photomultiplier tubes (PMT). Using a novel time-division multiplexing (TDM) approach, the system will allow simultaneous multi-point dose measurements, overcoming the low signal limitation of PSD-RL sensors. The project involves prototype design, handling of optical fibres, electronics development and system integration, software interface, laboratory characterization, and clinical validation.

---

Key Responsibilities

• Prototype Development: Build and assemble PSD-RL sensors, PMT coupling, and housings.
• Electronics Development: Design and test circuits for PMT readout, signal conditioning, and TDM control.
• Embedded System & Firmware: Program microcontroller/FPGA for timing, multiplexing, and data acquisition.
• Software & Interface: Develop a simple desktop GUI for real-time dose display, data logging, and calibration.
• Testing & Validation: Conduct lab and clinical beam measurements, troubleshoot, and analyze data.
• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain logs, prepare reports, and contribute to publications/presentations.

---

Requirements

Essential

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Physics, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or related field
• Basic hands-on experience with electronics (circuit prototyping, soldering, testing)
• Experience with photodetectors (PMT/SiPM)
• Familiarity with PCB design tools
• Ability to program microcontrollers or FPGA
• Experience with data acquisition or instrumentation
• Ability to develop simple software/GUI (Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW)
• Good problem-solving skills and willingness to learn
• Able to work independently and in a team

Advantageous (optional)

• Background in radiation physics or medical device instrumentation
• Skills in signal processing or real-time data analysis

About the Project:

This project examines the feasibility of social prescribing in Malaysia as a strategy to address social determinants of health and complement biomedical care. Using an umbrella review, a national survey of doctors, and qualitative interviews with patients, healthcare providers, and Ministry of Health stakeholders, the study will generate the first empirical evidence on how social prescribing can be adapted and integrated into the Malaysian healthcare system. Findings will inform policy, service design, and community partnerships in line with national health priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals.

 

Position Overview:

We invite applications for a Graduate Research Assistant to support the social prescribing project. The GRA will play a central role in coordinating data collection, managing qualitative research activities, and contributing to knowledge translation products such as policy briefs and infographics. This position is well suited for candidates interested in public health, primary care, mental health, or community based research, and may align with a Master or PhD thesis.

 

Key Responsibilities:

* Assist with literature searches, article screening, and reference management for the umbrella review

* Support coordination of the national online survey of doctors, including recruitment through professional bodies and basic data management

* Coordinate Phase 2 qualitative activities, including recruitment and scheduling of interviews and focus groups with doctors, patients, NGOs, and Ministry of Health stakeholders

* Manage contact lists for opt in interviews and maintain accurate project records and audit trails

* Oversee transcription procurement and quality checking of audio recordings

* Assist with data coding and organisation using NVivo under supervision of the research team

* Contribute to the preparation of dissemination materials, including policy briefs, infographics, workshop slides, and community friendly summaries

* Provide general administrative support related to meetings, ethics documentation, and project reporting

 

Eligibility Criteria:

* Bachelor’s degree in Public Health, Medicine, Nursing, Psychology, Social Sciences, or related fields

* Candidates must enroll in a postgraduate (Master’s or PhD) programme at Universiti Malaya upon joining

* Interest in social prescribing, primary care, mental health, health systems, or community based interventions

* Good written and spoken communication skills in English and Bahasa Malaysia

* Prior experience with research (quantitative and or qualitative), survey tools, or community engagement is an advantage

* Familiarity with NVivo, SPSS or other statistical software is an added advantage

* Responsible, organised, and able to work independently with minimal supervision

* Willingness to liaise with external stakeholders and, when required, travel for data collection

 

Benefits:

We are excited to invite applications for a full-time Master’s or PhD research position within a project titled:

“Genetic and Metabolic Predictors of Methadone-Induced Neuropsychiatric and Cardiac Adverse Effects in Opioid-Dependent Patients”

This project sits at the forefront of personalized medicine in addiction treatment. In Malaysia, where methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) is a key public health strategy, understanding why patients respond differently, particularly regarding adverse neuropsychiatric and cardiac effects, is crucial. Our study aims to uncover genetic markers that predict these side effects, paving the way for safer, more tailored treatment strategies.

Why This Research Matters:

• Addresses a pressing national health priority aligned with Malaysia’s efforts to reduce opioid dependence and its societal burden.

• Explores Malaysia’s unique multi-ethnic genetic landscape, offering insights that could explain disparities in treatment outcomes across populations.

• Contributes directly to the advancement of personalized medicine, with the potential to improve treatment efficacy, minimize harmful side effects, and enhance patient quality of life.

Candidate Profile:
We are looking for a dedicated and curious researcher who holds:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (CGPA 3.0 or above) in Biology, Biomedical Science, Genetics, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Medical Science, or a related discipline.

• Strong written and spoken English skills, with the ability to produce clear academic reports and documentation.

• A genuine passion for research, a proactive attitude, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

• Commitment to enroll full-time in a Master’s or PhD program at Universiti Malaya in a related research area.

What We Offer:

• Opportunities for academic growth, conference participation, and possible research-related travel.

• Guidance from experienced researchers in genetics, pharmacology, and personalized medicine.

Application Note:
Malaysian applicants are especially encouraged to apply. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview.
