The Research Assistant/Associate will support biomedical or medical research at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), including literature reviews, study planning, laboratory or clinical procedures, data collection, analysis, documentation, and preparation of reports or publications. Applicants generally need a relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree in biomedical science, medicine, life sciences, or a related discipline; an associate-level appointment may require stronger research experience or a PhD. Candidates should demonstrate sound technical skills, careful record-keeping, analytical ability, teamwork, integrity, and effective communication. Experience with laboratory techniques, clinical research, statistics, programming, or research ethics is advantageous. The role may also involve collaboration with clinicians, researchers, and external partners.

Singapore offers strong opportunities in biomedical research, healthcare, technology, education, finance, and advanced manufacturing. The culture is multicultural, organised, and generally fast-paced, with English widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle is convenient and safe, supported by excellent public transport, modern healthcare, shopping, hawker centres, parks, and a lively food scene. Housing is usually the largest expense; newcomers often rent a room or apartment near an MRT station. Foreign professionals commonly require an Employment Pass, while eligible mid-skilled roles may use an S Pass; the employer normally submits the application, and approval depends on salary, qualifications, and prevailing regulations. Relocating workers should budget for rent, deposits, insurance, transport, and daily expenses. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, so lightweight clothing and practical planning are helpful.
