The Research Fellow will conduct research in soundscape engineering, likely involving acoustic measurement, environmental sound analysis, signal processing, modelling, and the design of healthier or more comfortable acoustic environments. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in acoustics, audio or sound engineering, electrical engineering, environmental science, architecture, or a related discipline. Strong research, data-analysis, programming, technical writing, and communication skills are important. The successful candidate should be able to work independently and collaboratively, publish in academic journals, contribute to research proposals, manage experiments or field studies, and present findings to academic and industry audiences.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in western Singapore. It is known internationally for engineering, science, technology, business, education, and interdisciplinary research, with strong connections to industry and public-sector partners. NTU hosts extensive laboratories, research institutes, innovation centres, and graduate programmes, and supports projects addressing areas such as sustainability, urban development, digital technology, healthcare, and advanced materials. Its campus combines academic facilities with residential colleges, cultural spaces, sports amenities, and green areas. Research Fellows typically work within a school, centre, or externally funded project under the guidance of academic investigators. The university offers an international working environment and opportunities to collaborate with researchers from Singapore and overseas.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in universities, research institutes, engineering, technology, finance, healthcare, education, and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while the multicultural population reflects Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international communities. Life is convenient, safe, and highly connected, with excellent public transport, reliable services, diverse food, shopping, parks, and easy access to Southeast Asia. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central areas, so newcomers often compare university accommodation, shared apartments, and suburban rentals. Employment passes are normally sponsored by the employer; Research Fellows may qualify for an Employment Pass or another work authorisation depending on salary and eligibility. Applicants should confirm visa requirements, relocation support, healthcare coverage, taxation, and contract terms with NTU. Singapore’s hot, humid climate and occasional heavy rain are important practical considerations.
