The Research Fellow will investigate digital biomarkers of ageing, likely using data from wearable devices, clinical assessments, imaging, or other digital health technologies. Requirements typically include a PhD in biomedical science, gerontology, neuroscience, data science, computer science, or a related discipline; research experience; strong analytical and statistical skills; and the ability to publish in peer-reviewed journals. Experience with programming, machine learning, health data, or longitudinal studies would be valuable. The successful candidate is expected to plan and conduct research independently, analyse and interpret results, prepare manuscripts and presentations, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, support grant or project reporting, and contribute to the broader research goals of the university.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship comprehensive university and one of Asia’s leading institutions for education, research, and innovation. Its work spans medicine, engineering, science, business, computing, social sciences, and the humanities. NUS maintains extensive partnerships with hospitals, government agencies, companies, and universities worldwide, providing researchers with opportunities to work on internationally relevant problems. The university has a strong focus on translational research, including ageing, health technology, artificial intelligence, and population health. Research Fellows generally work within a faculty, institute, or research centre under the guidance of principal investigators, while contributing to publications, grants, and collaborative projects. NUS is located mainly at Kent Ridge, with a large, diverse academic community and substantial campus facilities.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in biomedical research, healthcare, technology, finance, education, and advanced manufacturing. Its culture is multicultural, combining Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English widely used at work. Life is convenient and safe, supported by excellent public transport, reliable services, and varied food options. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, so many newcomers consider university accommodation, shared apartments, or areas connected by MRT. Employment Pass eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, and employer sponsorship; universities usually guide successful hires through the application process. Researchers should prepare certified academic documents, references, and health or immigration paperwork where required. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. A local bank account, mobile plan, and transport card are useful soon after arrival. Healthcare is high quality but private treatment can be costly without insurance.
