The Research Engineer will support experimental and applied research in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Typical requirements include a degree in chemical engineering, biomolecular engineering, materials science, chemistry, or a related discipline, along with laboratory or engineering research experience. Familiarity with experimental design, data analysis, process development, laboratory instruments, and relevant software is expected. The candidate should be able to work independently while collaborating with faculty, researchers, and students. Strong analytical, documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills are important, as is careful attention to laboratory safety and research quality. Experience with polymers, catalysis, biotechnology, process systems, or other relevant project areas may be advantageous.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship university and a leading global institution for education, research, and innovation. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across a broad range of disciplines, including engineering, science, medicine, business, computing, and the humanities. NUS is strongly research-oriented and works with government agencies, international universities, and industry partners on projects addressing challenges such as sustainability, healthcare, advanced materials, energy, and digital technology. Its Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering conducts research spanning chemical processes, biotechnology, nanomaterials, energy systems, and environmental engineering. Employees generally work in a multicultural academic environment with access to modern laboratories, collaborative research networks, professional development opportunities, and Singapore’s well-connected urban infrastructure.
Singapore is a compact, safe, and highly connected island city with opportunities in universities, research institutes, engineering, biotechnology, finance, technology, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. The culture is multicultural, combining Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences; English is widely used at work and in daily life. Residents enjoy efficient public transport, reliable services, diverse food, shopping, parks, and easy access to nearby Asian destinations. Living costs can be high, especially rent, so comparing accommodation options and commuting distances is important. Foreign professionals usually need an employment pass sponsored by their employer, while eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, and the role. New arrivals should arrange housing, healthcare coverage, banking, and mobile service after receiving approval. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, so lightweight clothing and practical footwear are recommended.
