The Research Fellow will conduct advanced research on quantum processors, likely involving quantum device design, fabrication, characterization, control, or computational modelling. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, computer science, or a closely related field, with relevant experience in quantum information, superconducting or semiconductor devices, cryogenic systems, nanofabrication, or experimental measurement. Strong analytical, programming, scientific writing, and problem-solving skills are important. The successful candidate should work independently while collaborating with researchers, publish in reputable journals, present findings, contribute to grant-funded projects, and help develop the laboratory’s research capabilities.
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 undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional programmes across disciplines including engineering, science, medicine, computing, business, and the humanities. NUS has a strong international research profile and collaborates with universities, government agencies, and industry partners worldwide. Its research activities include quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, materials science, biomedical science, sustainability, and advanced engineering. The university provides a multicultural academic environment, modern laboratories, and opportunities to work with researchers from many countries. Research fellows typically contribute to externally funded projects, publish scholarly work, attend conferences, and support the development of new technologies while gaining experience in a highly competitive global research setting.
Singapore is a compact, well-connected island with opportunities in research, technology, engineering, finance, healthcare, education, and advanced manufacturing. Its culture blends Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, reflected in its festivals, neighbourhoods, and excellent food. The lifestyle is safe, clean, efficient, and convenient, although housing and daily expenses can be high. Public transport is reliable, and beaches, parks, museums, and nature reserves provide easy breaks from city life. Foreign researchers commonly work under an Employment Pass, while eligible institutions may use other research or work-pass arrangements; the employer normally supports the application. Before relocating, candidates should confirm salary, benefits, housing costs, medical coverage, tax obligations, and pass requirements with NUS. Renting a room or shared apartment is often more affordable than leasing a private apartment, especially near the Kent Ridge campus.
