The Research Fellow will conduct advanced research in chemistry, chemical engineering, or materials science, supporting laboratory experiments, data analysis, publications, and project reporting. Candidates typically need a PhD in a relevant discipline, strong experimental or computational research skills, and experience with scientific instrumentation, materials characterization, chemical synthesis, or process development. The role expects independent problem-solving, careful laboratory practice, effective technical writing, and the ability to work collaboratively with academic and industry partners. Applicants should demonstrate a strong publication record or research potential, good communication skills, and the ability to manage timelines while contributing to grant-funded research projects.

NTU operates a large main campus and hosts research institutes, laboratories, graduate programmes, and innovation centres focused on areas such as sustainability, advanced materials, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and smart systems. The university employs academics, researchers, professional staff, and technical specialists from around the world.

The university offers a multicultural environment, modern facilities, and opportunities to publish research, collaborate internationally, and develop specialist expertise.
Singapore is a compact, safe, and highly connected island city with strong opportunities in research, engineering, technology, healthcare, finance, education, and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, efficient, and generally respectful, with excellent food, public transport, healthcare, and digital services. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, but buses and the MRT make commuting straightforward. Employment usually requires an appropriate work pass; research professionals are commonly sponsored for an Employment Pass or, depending on qualifications and salary, an S Pass. Before relocating, confirm sponsorship, medical requirements, taxes, insurance, and contract terms with the employer. New arrivals should budget for rent deposits, transport, utilities, and daily expenses, and arrange accommodation before arrival where possible.
