Company Info

Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major public research university in Singapore, known for its strengths in engineering, science, technology, business, education, and interdisciplinary research. Its main campus is located in the western part of the island and includes extensive laboratories, research institutes, teaching facilities, and residential colleges. NTU works with government agencies, industry partners, and international universities on projects ranging from advanced materials and photonics to artificial intelligence, sustainability, and biomedical science. The university attracts academics, researchers, students, and professional staff from around the world. Research Fellows typically work within a school, department, or research centre under the guidance of a principal investigator, contributing to funded projects and producing peer-reviewed research.

Destination Guide

Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with opportunities in research, engineering, technology, finance, healthcare, education, and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Chinese, Malay, and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, orderly, and generally fast-paced, with excellent public transport, safe neighbourhoods, diverse food, and plentiful shopping and outdoor attractions. Housing can be expensive, especially near central areas, so many employees choose rooms or apartments in locations connected by the MRT. International hires usually need an appropriate work pass, commonly an Employment Pass or related professional pass, sponsored by the employer and subject to government requirements. Before relocating, candidates should confirm pass eligibility, medical coverage, housing costs, taxes, and moving arrangements. NTU is in the west, near Jurong West and accessible by bus and MRT connections.
