The role typically requires a PhD or equivalent research experience in urban climate science, environmental engineering, atmospheric science, computer science, or a related discipline. Candidates should have strong skills in urban microclimate modeling, Python or similar programming languages, data analysis, and machine learning, especially graph neural networks. Experience with numerical simulation, geospatial data, high-performance computing, and academic publication is highly desirable. The Research Fellow will develop and validate computational models, analyze urban environmental data, contribute to research papers and presentations, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and support grant-related research activities. Strong communication, independent problem-solving, project management, and the ability to work effectively with researchers and external partners are expected.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship comprehensive university and one of Asia’s leading research institutions. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate education across areas including engineering, computing, science, medicine, business, design, and the humanities. NUS is known for its international outlook, strong industry partnerships, and research addressing major challenges such as climate change, urban development, sustainability, and digital transformation. Research Fellows work within academic departments, institutes, and laboratories, often collaborating with colleagues from different disciplines and countries. The university provides access to advanced research facilities, extensive libraries, professional networks, and a highly international campus community. Based mainly in Kent Ridge, NUS is closely connected to Singapore’s technology, business, and public-sector ecosystem.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in research, higher education, technology, engineering, finance, healthcare, and sustainability. Its culture combines Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English widely used in workplaces and daily life. The lifestyle is safe, clean, efficient, and convenient, supported by excellent public transport, diverse food, modern housing, and extensive shopping and green spaces. Rent can be expensive, particularly near central districts, while public transport and healthcare are generally reliable. International researchers usually need an employment pass or another work authorisation arranged by the hiring institution; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, and current government requirements. Relocating employees should plan for housing deposits, health insurance, banking, tax registration, and school arrangements if moving with family. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, so suitable clothing and air-conditioning are important.
