The Research Assistant will support biohybrid research in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NUS. Requirements typically include a relevant degree in chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, materials science, biology, or a related discipline, together with laboratory research experience. Knowledge of cell culture, biomaterials, molecular biology, microscopy, microfluidics, or biochemical techniques would be advantageous. The candidate is expected to conduct experiments carefully, analyse and document results, maintain laboratory equipment, review scientific literature, contribute to reports and publications, and work effectively with researchers from different disciplines. Strong communication, organisation, attention to detail, scientific curiosity, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively are important.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship comprehensive university and one of Asia’s leading institutions for education and research. It offers programmes across engineering, science, medicine, computing, business, the humanities, and social sciences, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. NUS works closely with industry, government agencies, hospitals, and international research partners. Its research portfolio includes areas such as biotechnology, advanced materials, sustainability, artificial intelligence, healthcare, and engineering. The university’s main campus is located in the southwest of Singapore and provides modern laboratories, academic facilities, libraries, housing, sports amenities, and extensive student and staff services. Employment opportunities range from academic and research appointments to professional, technical, administrative, and campus operations roles.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island with strong employment opportunities in research, biotechnology, engineering, healthcare, finance, technology, education, and logistics. Its multicultural society blends Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English widely used at work and in daily life. Public transport is efficient, housing is varied but generally expensive, and healthcare and public services are well developed. Residents enjoy hawker food, shopping, museums, beaches, parks, and easy regional travel. Foreign professionals normally need an employer-sponsored work pass; common options include the Employment Pass for qualifying professionals and the S Pass for eligible technical staff, subject to salary and other requirements. New arrivals should arrange accommodation, review commuting distances, budget for deposits and utilities, and check pass conditions before relocating. Singapore’s warm, humid climate and occasional heavy rain make lightweight clothing and reliable air-conditioning useful.
