The Research Fellow will conduct research in mixed-integer programming, developing mathematical models, optimization algorithms and computational methods for complex decision-making problems. Requirements typically include a PhD in operations research, computer science, mathematics, industrial engineering or a related discipline, along with strong programming skills and experience with optimization solvers such as CPLEX, Gurobi or SCIP. Candidates are expected to publish in reputable journals or conferences, work independently and collaboratively, analyze research results, contribute to grant or project deliverables, and communicate findings clearly. Experience with large-scale optimization, machine learning, or applications in logistics, scheduling and transportation would be advantageous.

Singapore offers strong opportunities in higher education, research, technology, finance, healthcare, logistics and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, and the multicultural environment includes Chinese, Malay, Indian and international communities. Life is safe, clean and highly connected, with excellent public transport, modern healthcare and a wide range of food and entertainment. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central districts and university areas, so newcomers often compare private rentals with university accommodation. Foreign professionals generally need an Employment Pass or another appropriate work pass, usually arranged by the employer; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications and prevailing government criteria. New arrivals should budget for rent, deposits, insurance and daily expenses, and check tax, banking and healthcare arrangements before moving. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain.
