This Research Fellow role focuses on microbiology and molecular mechanisms linking c-di-GMP signaling with the Type VI Secretion System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, or a related discipline, with relevant research experience. Practical expertise in bacterial genetics, molecular cloning, protein or RNA analysis, microscopy, microbial culture, and laboratory experimentation is highly desirable. The successful candidate should be capable of planning and conducting independent research, analysing and presenting results, preparing publications and reports, collaborating with other researchers, and maintaining accurate laboratory records. Strong communication, problem-solving, organisation, and teamwork skills are also expected.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major public research university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for research and education in science, engineering, technology, medicine, business, humanities, and social sciences. NTU operates a large, diverse campus and hosts researchers, students, and academic staff from around the world. Its research environment includes advanced laboratories and multidisciplinary institutes working on areas such as biotechnology, infectious diseases, sustainability, artificial intelligence, materials, and biomedical science. The university supports collaborations with government agencies, hospitals, industry partners, and international institutions. Research Fellows at NTU typically contribute to grant-funded projects, publish scholarly work, attend conferences, and work within collaborative laboratories under the guidance of principal investigators.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in biomedical research, biotechnology, higher education, healthcare, engineering, finance, and technology. The work culture is professional, international, efficient, and generally collaborative, although expectations can be demanding. Living standards are high, with excellent public transport, reliable healthcare, personal safety, and a wide range of food and cultural experiences. Housing is the largest expense; researchers often choose shared apartments or locations near NTU and major transport routes. International hires usually need an Employment Pass or another work-authorisation route arranged by the employer, while dependants may qualify for related passes subject to requirements. New arrivals should budget for deposits, insurance, local transport, and initial accommodation. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. English is widely used in workplaces and daily administration, making relocation relatively straightforward.
