The Research Scientist will conduct experimental and applied research in mechanical, materials, or manufacturing engineering, supporting projects from laboratory investigation through prototype development and technical reporting. Requirements typically include a relevant degree, such as a PhD or master’s qualification, strong knowledge of engineering principles, laboratory and data-analysis skills, and experience with research publications, simulation, materials testing, manufacturing processes, or mechanical design. Candidates are expected to work independently and collaboratively, manage experiments safely, analyse results accurately, prepare reports and presentations, and contribute to grant-funded research and publications. Strong communication, problem-solving, project-management skills, and familiarity with advanced research equipment or engineering software are advantageous.

The university operates a large, modern campus with laboratories, research centres, teaching facilities, residential colleges, and innovation spaces. Research scientists at NTU commonly contribute to externally funded projects, publish scholarly work, support postgraduate researchers, and collaborate with academic and industrial partners. The institution offers a multicultural working environment and opportunities to work on projects with regional and international impact.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in engineering, advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, research, logistics, technology, finance, healthcare, and education. Its culture combines Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English widely used in workplaces. Life is convenient and safe, supported by excellent public transport, modern healthcare, diverse food, and extensive shopping and entertainment. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, while areas near NTU such as Jurong West, Clementi, and Bukit Batok may offer practical commuting options. Foreign professionals generally need an appropriate work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass, or a research-related pass, usually arranged with employer support. Before relocating, candidates should review salary requirements, accommodation costs, healthcare coverage, taxation, and dependent-pass rules. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain.
