Research Fellow (Analog in-memory computing macros)

Job Description

The Research Fellow will conduct advanced research on analog in-memory computing macros, likely involving circuit design, semiconductor devices, memory technologies, simulation, fabrication support, and laboratory testing. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in electrical and electronic engineering, computer engineering, microelectronics, or a closely related field. Experience with analog or mixed-signal integrated-circuit design, CMOS technology, memory circuits, in-memory computing, semiconductor measurements, and tools such as Cadence, SPICE, or MATLAB is highly relevant. The role requires strong analytical and problem-solving skills, the ability to publish in peer-reviewed journals, contribute to research proposals, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and communicate findings effectively.

Its location provides convenient links to industry parks, research institutes, and the city centre.

Destination Guide

Singapore offers strong opportunities in semiconductor manufacturing, electronics, biomedical science, finance, technology, education, logistics, and research. The island has a multicultural population, with English widely used alongside Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. Daily life is safe, efficient, and convenient, supported by excellent public transport, healthcare, and digital services. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central districts, while food ranges from affordable hawker meals to international dining. Singapore is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. Foreign professionals generally need an Employment Pass, S Pass, or an appropriate research or training pass, with the employer or institution handling much of the application process. New arrivals should arrange accommodation, health insurance, banking, and tax registration. NTU’s campus is well connected by buses and nearby MRT services, though commuting from central areas may take 40–60 minutes.
