The Research Fellow will conduct research in integrated photonics, potentially involving photonic devices, silicon photonics, optical communications, fabrication, simulation and experimental testing. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in electrical engineering, physics, photonics, optics or a related discipline, with relevant research experience and a strong publication record. Practical skills in optical measurement, device characterization, numerical modelling and laboratory equipment are valuable. The role requires independent research, collaboration with academic and industry partners, preparation of technical reports and papers, and presentation of results. The successful candidate should be analytical, innovative, well organised and able to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team while meeting project milestones.
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 engineering, science, medicine, computing, business, law, the humanities and social sciences. NUS has a strong international profile and works closely with government agencies, research institutes and industry partners on areas such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, biomedical science, sustainability and advanced materials. Its research environment includes modern laboratories, interdisciplinary centres and extensive regional and global collaborations. Employees benefit from working in a diverse academic community, with opportunities to publish, attend conferences and contribute to projects with practical impact. NUS is located mainly in the Kent Ridge area, with additional facilities across Singapore, and provides access to the city’s efficient transport, cultural attractions and international business network.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island with opportunities in universities, technology, engineering, finance, healthcare, logistics and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Chinese, Malay and Tamil are also official languages. The culture combines global influences with local traditions, and daily life is generally safe, clean and convenient. Public transport is excellent, although housing and dining in central areas can be expensive. Popular activities include exploring hawker centres, beaches, museums, parks and neighbouring islands. Foreign professionals typically need an employment pass sponsored by their employer; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications and experience, and applications are handled through the Ministry of Manpower. Researchers may also require institution-specific work authorisation. New arrivals should budget for rent, deposits, healthcare and transport, compare neighbourhoods near their workplace, and arrange accommodation and banking before or soon after arrival.
