The Research Associate will support research in protective engineering, potentially involving blast, impact, structural protection, advanced materials, testing, modelling and data analysis. Applicants typically need a relevant degree, usually a PhD or master's qualification in mechanical, civil, aerospace, materials or a related engineering discipline, depending on project requirements. Experience with experimental research, numerical simulation, laboratory equipment, technical software and scientific writing is valuable. The candidate is expected to conduct experiments safely, analyse and document results, prepare reports and publications, collaborate with academic and industry partners, and contribute reliably to project milestones. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are essential.

It is internationally recognised for engineering, science, technology, business, education and interdisciplinary research, and is closely connected with industry and public-sector organisations. NTU operates a large, diverse campus with modern laboratories, research centres and facilities supporting areas such as sustainability, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, materials, aerospace and defence-related engineering. The university employs academic, research, professional and technical staff from around the world. Research Associates commonly work within funded projects led by faculty members, contributing to experiments, modelling, publications, reports and collaboration with external partners. NTU offers an international academic environment and opportunities to develop specialist expertise while working on applied and fundamental research with regional and global relevance.
Singapore is a compact, safe and well-connected island city with opportunities in research, engineering, technology, finance, healthcare, education, logistics and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Malay, Mandarin and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, organised and generally fast-paced, with excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, parks and efficient public services. Housing ranges from shared rooms and apartments to private condominiums, though rent can be high. Employment Pass or S Pass applications are usually sponsored by the employer and depend on qualifications, salary and prevailing regulations; research staff may receive institution-supported applications. New arrivals should arrange accommodation, health insurance, banking and tax registration. Singapore's tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, so lightweight clothing and an adaptable routine are useful.
