The Research Scientist will develop and optimize advanced diamond synthesis processes, likely involving chemical vapour deposition, materials engineering, and nanomaterial characterization. Candidates are expected to hold a PhD or equivalent experience in materials science, chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, or a related discipline. Practical expertise in diamond growth, thin films, plasma systems, spectroscopy, microscopy, or other analytical techniques would be advantageous. The role requires strong experimental design, data analysis, scientific writing, and problem-solving abilities. The successful candidate should work independently and collaboratively, maintain accurate laboratory records, publish or contribute to research papers, present findings, and support project milestones, funding objectives, and collaborations with academic or industry partners.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for work in engineering, technology, science, medicine, business, education, and the humanities. NTU has a strong emphasis on applied research and maintains partnerships with industry, government agencies, and universities worldwide. Its research community includes laboratories and institutes working on advanced materials, semiconductors, sustainability, biomedical technologies, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing. The university offers an international working environment, modern research facilities, and opportunities to contribute to high-impact projects. Research scientists may work with professors, students, technical staff, and external collaborators while supporting publications, intellectual property development, and technology translation. Employment terms and benefits vary according to the specific research project, funding source, and appointment level.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in research, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, engineering, biotechnology, finance, education, and technology. Its culture is multicultural, English-friendly, and generally efficient, with Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences. The lifestyle is safe and convenient, with excellent public transport, diverse food, modern healthcare, and easy access to parks and beaches, although housing and daily expenses can be high. Professionals usually need an Employment Pass, while eligible institutions may arrange the application; approval depends on salary, qualifications, and prevailing government criteria. Relocating employees should budget carefully for rent, deposits, insurance, transport, and school fees if applicable. Singapore is compact, so commuting from areas such as Jurong, Buona Vista, Queenstown, or central districts is manageable. Before moving, confirm the contract, pass sponsorship, medical coverage, tax treatment, and relocation support with NTU.
