The role requires a PhD, MD, or equivalent qualification in geroscience, ageing research, biomedical science, medicine, or a related discipline, together with an established record of high-quality research and publications. Candidates should demonstrate potential or success in obtaining competitive research funding, supervising postgraduate students, collaborating across disciplines, and translating discoveries into meaningful health outcomes. Responsibilities are expected to include developing an independent research programme, contributing to teaching and curriculum development, mentoring students and junior researchers, and supporting the growth of ageing-related research at LKCMedicine. Strong communication, leadership, teamwork, and engagement with clinical or industry partners are also expected.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university with a strong international reputation in science, engineering, medicine, business, and the humanities. Its Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine is operated in partnership with Imperial College London and focuses on innovative medical education, biomedical research, and improving population health. NTU supports interdisciplinary research through modern laboratories, clinical partnerships, institutes, and collaborations with government and industry. The university is known for its emphasis on innovation, technology transfer, global partnerships, and graduate development. LKCMedicine is based across NTU's main campus and the Novena medical district, providing links to healthcare institutions and translational research networks. Academic staff generally combine research, teaching, supervision, academic service, and external collaboration responsibilities.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with opportunities in universities, biomedical research, healthcare, technology, finance, and advanced manufacturing. Its multicultural society blends Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English widely used in workplaces. Residents enjoy excellent public transport, safe neighbourhoods, efficient healthcare, diverse food, shopping, parks, and easy access to regional travel. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central districts, although public transport makes commuting practical from areas such as Queenstown, Bishan, or Pasir Ris. Foreign academics typically need an Employment Pass sponsored by the university; dependants may qualify for related passes subject to current rules. Relocation usually involves securing housing, arranging insurance and banking, and registering children for schools if applicable. Singapore's warm, humid climate and year-round tropical conditions are worth preparing for.
