The Research Fellow will conduct advanced research in autonomous materials discovery, combining materials science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, laboratory automation and data-driven experimentation. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, computer science or a related field, with experience in experimental research and scientific programming. Familiarity with robotics, automated laboratory platforms, optimization methods, data analysis and interdisciplinary collaboration is advantageous. The successful candidate should be able to design and execute research projects, publish results in high-quality journals, prepare technical reports, contribute to grant activities and work effectively with academic and industry partners. Strong analytical, communication and project-management skills are expected.

Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with strong opportunities in research, higher education, technology, engineering, finance, healthcare and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, orderly and generally safe, with excellent public transport, reliable healthcare and diverse food. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central districts, although shared accommodation and suburban options are more affordable. Singapore has a hot, humid climate throughout the year. Foreign researchers usually need an employment pass or another appropriate work authorisation, normally arranged with employer support before starting work. New arrivals should budget for rent, deposits, transport and insurance, and check tax, dependent-pass and immigration requirements. NTU’s campus is in the west of Singapore, with access to housing, shops and public transport.
