The Research Fellow will conduct experimental and theoretical research in quantum photonics, potentially involving photonic devices, quantum optics, optical measurements, nanofabrication, data analysis and scientific modelling. Applicants are generally expected to hold a PhD in physics, photonics, electrical engineering, optical engineering or a related discipline, with relevant research experience. Strong skills in laboratory experimentation, programming, scientific writing and data interpretation are valuable. The candidate should work independently while collaborating with researchers, publish results in reputable journals, present findings at conferences, support project objectives and contribute to grant or technical reports. Experience with quantum communication, integrated photonics, single-photon sources or optical instrumentation would be advantageous.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a research-intensive university located in the western part of Singapore. It is recognised internationally for strengths in engineering, science, technology, business, education and interdisciplinary research. NTU hosts major research institutes and advanced facilities covering areas such as quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, materials science, sustainability and biomedical engineering. The university’s community includes students, academic staff, researchers and professional employees from Singapore and around the world. NTU supports research through collaborations with industry, government agencies and international institutions, offering researchers opportunities to work on high-impact projects. Its main campus is known for its green environment, modern laboratories, academic buildings and extensive student facilities. Research Fellows typically work within a school, research centre or externally funded project under the guidance of a principal investigator.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in research, technology, engineering, finance, healthcare, education and advanced manufacturing. Universities, public research institutes and technology companies regularly hire researchers and specialists, particularly in photonics, semiconductors, quantum technology and artificial intelligence. The culture is multicultural, organised and generally fast-paced, with English widely used in workplaces. The lifestyle is convenient, safe and highly connected, though accommodation and dining in central areas can be expensive. Public transport is excellent, and the island’s compact size makes commuting practical. Foreign professionals usually need an employer-sponsored work pass; researchers may use an Employment Pass, S Pass or an institution-specific arrangement, depending on qualifications and salary. Relocating typically involves securing employment, arranging housing, obtaining health insurance and setting up banking and mobile services. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain.
