The role involves developing and applying agent-based modelling and simulation methods to study complex systems, likely through computational research, data analysis, programming, model validation and academic publications. Candidates are generally expected to hold a relevant PhD or have equivalent research experience in computer science, engineering, mathematics, social science, operations research or a related discipline. Strong programming skills, particularly in Python, Java, R or similar tools, and experience with simulation, computational modelling or interdisciplinary research are desirable. The successful candidate should work independently, collaborate effectively with researchers, communicate findings clearly, prepare reports and papers, and contribute to grant proposals or research projects.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is known internationally for strengths in engineering, science, technology, business, medicine, education and interdisciplinary research. NTU operates a large, modern campus with research institutes, laboratories, teaching facilities and extensive partnerships with industry and institutions worldwide. The university supports research addressing areas such as artificial intelligence, sustainability, healthcare, advanced materials, urban systems and digital transformation. Academic and research staff work in a multicultural environment and may participate in funded projects, doctoral supervision, publications and collaborations across disciplines. NTU is also a significant employer in Singapore, offering opportunities for research fellows, faculty, professional staff and technical specialists. Employment benefits and contract conditions vary according to the appointment, funding source, experience and university policies.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in research, technology, engineering, education, finance, healthcare, logistics and advanced manufacturing. Its culture combines Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences, with English widely used in workplaces. The city is clean, safe and highly connected, with excellent public transport, reliable services, diverse food and many shopping, arts and nature attractions. Housing can be expensive, especially near central areas, so newcomers often compare university housing, room rentals and suburban apartments. International employees typically need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass or, for qualifying research and academic roles, another appropriate work pass; the employer normally handles the application. Before relocating, check passport, dependent, tax, healthcare and tenancy requirements. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. NTU’s campus is in the west, near Jurong and well connected by public transport.
