The Research Fellow will conduct research on the science of learning within NIE’s Education Centre, contributing to studies, data collection, analysis, academic publications, presentations, and research reports. Candidates typically need a PhD or equivalent doctoral qualification in education, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, learning sciences, or a related discipline. Experience with quantitative or qualitative research methods, experimental design, statistical analysis, academic writing, and research software is expected. The successful candidate should work independently and collaboratively, manage research timelines, communicate findings clearly, and contribute to grant-funded projects and scholarly activities. Experience working with learners, educational datasets, or interdisciplinary research teams would be advantageous.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for engineering, science, technology, business, education, humanities, and social sciences, and is home to the National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore’s national teacher education institute. NTU combines teaching with strong research activity and works with government agencies, schools, industry, and international partners on issues including sustainability, digital technology, health, and education. NIE’s research centres investigate teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment, and educational policy, supporting evidence-based improvements in schools and teacher development. The university employs academics, researchers, professional staff, and technical specialists from Singapore and around the world, offering a multicultural and highly international working environment.
Singapore offers opportunities in universities, biomedical research, technology, finance, healthcare, education, engineering, and public-sector organisations. Its culture is multicultural, English-speaking, orderly, and fast-paced, with Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences. Lifestyle is convenient and urban: public transport is excellent, healthcare is strong, food is diverse, and beaches, parks, and nearby islands provide relaxation. Housing is expensive, especially near central campuses, so many newcomers compare room rentals, condominiums, and public HDB flats. Foreign professionals generally need an Employment Pass or S Pass sponsored by an employer; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, and government criteria. Researchers may also qualify under university hiring routes or research-related passes. Bring authenticated qualifications, budget for deposits and initial costs, and check tax, healthcare, and dependent-pass rules before relocating.
