The Research Fellow will investigate AI literacy, technology adoption and the future of work, contributing to research design, literature reviews, data collection, analysis, publications and project reports. Candidates would typically need a PhD or equivalent doctoral training in education, social sciences, psychology, communication, information systems or a related discipline, along with strong research and writing skills. Experience with qualitative or quantitative methods, survey design, interviews, statistical or thematic analysis, and academic publishing is advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to work independently and collaboratively, communicate findings clearly, manage deadlines, engage with academic and industry stakeholders, and contribute to grant-funded research and knowledge-sharing activities.

Singapore offers strong opportunities in technology, higher education, research, finance, healthcare, logistics and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, orderly and fast-paced, with excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping and safe neighbourhoods. Housing is the main expense; renting a room or shared apartment is usually more affordable than a private flat. Singapore is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. Foreign research professionals commonly require an Employment Pass, generally arranged by the hiring institution and subject to salary and eligibility rules. Before relocating, check passport validity, medical requirements, insurance, tax obligations and university onboarding procedures. NTU is well connected by bus and nearby rail services, though commuting from central areas can take 30–50 minutes. A Singapore bank account and local mobile plan are useful soon after arrival.
