The Research Fellow will conduct independent and collaborative research on agentic artificial intelligence, focusing on safety, reliability, evaluation, and practical applications. Requirements typically include a PhD in computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or a related discipline, along with strong programming and research experience. Candidates should be familiar with large language models, autonomous agents, AI alignment, trustworthy AI, or related areas, and demonstrate a record of publications or equivalent technical work. The role expects analytical thinking, excellent written and verbal communication, the ability to work across disciplines, and initiative in developing research proposals, experiments, prototypes, and publications. Experience supervising students or working with industry partners may be advantageous.
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 computing, engineering, science, medicine, business, law, the humanities, and the social sciences. NUS has a strong international outlook, extensive partnerships with universities and industry, and a significant focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, and research with real-world impact. The School of Computing is recognised for work in computer science, information systems, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data science. Researchers benefit from a highly connected academic environment, modern facilities, access to multidisciplinary projects, and proximity to Singapore’s growing technology ecosystem. Employment conditions, research funding, and benefits vary by appointment type, grant, qualifications, and university policy.
Singapore is a compact, well-connected island with strong opportunities in technology, artificial intelligence, finance, healthcare, education, logistics, and research. English is widely used, and the culture combines Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, reflected in its festivals, food, and neighbourhoods. The lifestyle is convenient and generally safe, with excellent public transport, tropical weather, modern healthcare, and abundant hawker food. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, so newcomers often compare university accommodation, shared apartments, and suburban rentals. International researchers normally need an employer-sponsored work pass, commonly an Employment Pass or another pass appropriate to the appointment; the university usually guides the application. Bring suitable clothing for year-round heat and rain, plan for higher living costs, and check tax, healthcare, dependent-pass, and relocation arrangements before moving.
