The Research Assistant will support research in human-computer interaction, computer science, or information science at NTU. Typical requirements include a relevant bachelor's or master's degree, strong analytical and programming skills, and familiarity with research methods, data collection, user studies, or software development. Experience with HCI research, usability testing, qualitative or quantitative analysis, and academic writing is advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to work carefully and independently, collaborate with faculty and research teams, manage project tasks and data responsibly, contribute to publications or presentations, and communicate findings clearly. Depending on the project, knowledge of Python, JavaScript, prototyping tools, statistics, or user-experience design may be required.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is a major public research university in Singapore and one of Asia's leading institutions for science, engineering, technology, business, humanities, and social sciences. Its large Yunnan Garden campus supports extensive teaching, interdisciplinary research, innovation, and partnerships with industry and government. NTU is particularly recognized for engineering, computing, materials science, sustainability, and technology-driven research, while its research institutes address global issues such as healthcare, urban development, digital society, and climate change. The university employs academics, researchers, professional staff, and students from Singapore and around the world. Research assistants typically work within faculty-led projects, laboratories, or research centres, gaining experience in experimentation, data analysis, publication, and collaboration. Employment terms and salaries vary according to qualifications, funding, project duration, and university policies.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city-state with opportunities in technology, research, education, finance, healthcare, engineering, and logistics. Its culture is multicultural, combining Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English widely used in workplaces. The lifestyle is safe, efficient, and urban, with excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, parks, and warm tropical weather. Housing can be expensive, especially near central areas, so many newcomers compare university residences, shared apartments, and suburban rentals. Foreign professionals generally need an appropriate work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass, or relevant training or research arrangement; the employer usually handles the application. Check current Ministry of Manpower rules before relocating. New arrivals should budget for rent, deposits, healthcare, transport, and insurance, and confirm employment duration and benefits with NTU before accepting an offer.
