The role requires a PhD or equivalent research experience in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, life sciences, or a related discipline. Candidates should have practical experience with spinal cord injury models, neural tissue engineering, animal experimentation, tissue processing, histology, microscopy, molecular biology, and research data analysis. The successful fellow is expected to plan and conduct experiments independently, maintain accurate laboratory records, analyse and present findings, contribute to publications and grant applications, and work effectively within a multidisciplinary research team. Strong scientific writing, communication, problem-solving, and laboratory safety skills are important. Experience with biomaterials, stem cells, immunostaining, or rodent surgery would be advantageous.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in the western part of Singapore. It is internationally recognised for work in engineering, technology, science, medicine, business, and the humanities, with strong links to industry and public-sector research organisations. NTU’s research community includes laboratories focused on biomedical engineering, neuroscience, regenerative medicine, advanced materials, and healthcare innovation. The university provides an international environment, modern research facilities, postgraduate supervision opportunities, and collaboration across disciplines. Research Fellows typically work under principal investigators on externally funded projects, contribute to academic publications, attend conferences, and help develop new experimental methods. NTU’s main campus is a large, green residential-style campus with extensive laboratories, libraries, sports facilities, and staff services. Employment terms, benefits, and progression depend on the funding source and appointment conditions.
Singapore is a compact, safe, and highly connected island city with opportunities in universities, biomedical research, healthcare, technology, finance, 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 of punctuality and professional standards. Public transport is excellent, and most areas are accessible by MRT and bus; NTU is in the west, near Jurong and campus housing. Lifestyle options include hawker food, shopping, parks, beaches, museums, and easy regional travel. Rent can be expensive, especially near central districts, so researchers often consider shared accommodation or housing near the western campus. Foreign professionals usually need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass or S Pass, depending on qualifications and salary. Secure the work pass before starting employment, arrange health insurance, and budget for deposits, transport, and initial accommodation.
