The role involves conducting independent and collaborative research in healthy aging at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, with responsibilities likely including study design, data collection and analysis, scientific writing, publishing, and presenting findings. Candidates should hold a relevant PhD or equivalent research qualification, preferably in biomedical sciences, medicine, public health, gerontology, epidemiology, or a related discipline. Experience with human studies, laboratory techniques, statistical analysis, or health-related datasets is advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to demonstrate strong research integrity, communication and teamwork skills, contribute to grant and publication activities, and work effectively with multidisciplinary collaborators. A Senior Research Fellow would normally be expected to show greater research independence, leadership, and a strong publication record.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore, with a strong international reputation in science, engineering, business, humanities, education, and medicine. Its Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine is a collaboration between NTU and Imperial College London and focuses on medical education, clinical research, population health, and healthcare innovation. NTU supports research through modern laboratories, interdisciplinary institutes, extensive industry partnerships, and collaborations with hospitals and public agencies. The university employs academics, researchers, professional staff, and educators from around the world. Its Novena campus is closely connected with Singapore’s healthcare and biomedical research environment, making it a suitable base for projects involving aging, health outcomes, translational medicine, and population-based studies.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in universities, biomedical research, healthcare, technology, finance, and international business. The culture is multicultural, English is widely used, and workplaces are generally professional, diverse, and internationally oriented. Life is convenient, safe, and well connected by public transport, although housing and private schooling can be expensive. The island has excellent food, healthcare, shopping, parks, and regional travel links. Foreign researchers typically need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass or an appropriate research-related pass; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, and current government requirements. New arrivals should arrange accommodation, health insurance, banking, and tax registration. Central areas are convenient but costly, while neighborhoods farther from the city may offer better value. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid throughout the year, with frequent rain, so lightweight clothing and suitable housing are important.
