The Research Fellow will conduct interdisciplinary research in communication, media studies, computational social science, information science, computer science, or data science. Requirements typically include a PhD, or near completion of a PhD, in a relevant discipline; strong research, analytical, and academic writing skills; and experience with quantitative, computational, experimental, or mixed-method research. Programming, data analysis, machine learning, natural language processing, social media analytics, or information systems experience may be expected depending on the project. The successful candidate should work independently and collaboratively, publish in reputable journals or conferences, manage research data, present findings, contribute to grant-funded projects, and support the research group’s academic activities.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for work in engineering, technology, business, science, medicine, education, the humanities, and the social sciences. NTU has a diverse academic community, extensive laboratory and research facilities, and partnerships with government agencies, industry, and universities worldwide. The university places strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research, innovation, graduate education, and translating research into social and economic impact. Its main campus is known for its green environment and modern facilities, while its Singapore location provides access to a dynamic regional hub for technology, media, finance, and public policy. Research Fellows generally work within schools, institutes, or externally funded projects and may collaborate with researchers across disciplines and countries.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in universities, technology, finance, healthcare, biotechnology, media, education, and public-sector research. Its multicultural society blends Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English widely used in workplaces and daily administration. The lifestyle is safe, efficient, and convenient, supported by excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, parks, and nearby regional travel. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central districts and the university, so newcomers often compare university accommodation, shared apartments, and suburban rentals. Foreign researchers usually need an appropriate work pass, commonly an Employment Pass or relevant institutional pass arranged by the employer; eligibility depends on salary and qualifications. Relocation costs, healthcare coverage, taxes, and dependent-pass rules should be checked before accepting an offer. Singapore’s warm, humid climate and compact geography make it easy to explore the island year-round.
