The Research Fellow will conduct research in geomechanics, likely involving soil and rock behaviour, numerical modelling, laboratory testing, data analysis and preparation of academic publications. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, geomechanics or a closely related discipline, with relevant research experience. Skills in computational modelling, experimental methods, scientific writing and presenting findings are valuable. The successful candidate should work independently and collaboratively, manage research tasks effectively, contribute to project deliverables, and support the preparation of reports, papers and presentations. Experience with programming, finite-element or discrete-element modelling, and geotechnical laboratory equipment may be advantageous.

Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city-state with strong opportunities in universities, engineering, technology, finance, healthcare, logistics and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used in workplaces, while Singapore’s multicultural society reflects Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences. The lifestyle is safe, convenient and urban, with excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, parks and nearby beaches. Housing can be expensive, especially in central areas, so newcomers often compare university accommodation, room rentals and shared apartments. Foreign professionals generally need an Employment Pass, while eligible researchers may use an appropriate research or work pass arranged with the institution. Before relocating, check pass requirements, healthcare coverage, tax rules and dependent eligibility. Singapore’s warm, humid climate, efficient services and international community make it relatively easy to settle, although living costs and limited space should be planned for carefully.
