The role supports research in simulation and BioMEMS at Nanyang Technological University. Candidates are generally expected to hold a relevant PhD or equivalent research experience in biomedical engineering, microfluidics, MEMS, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, or a related discipline. Experience with numerical modelling, multiphysics simulation tools such as COMSOL, microfabrication, experimental validation, or biological systems is advantageous. The successful candidate should be able to design and conduct research independently, analyse results, prepare reports and academic publications, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and present findings clearly. Strong technical writing, problem-solving, project-management, and communication skills are likely to be expected.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is a major public research university in Singapore with a strong international reputation in engineering, science, technology, business, education, and interdisciplinary research. Its main campus is located in the western part of the island and includes laboratories, teaching facilities, residential colleges, libraries, and extensive research centres. NTU works closely with government agencies, hospitals, technology companies, and global academic partners. The university is particularly recognised for research in engineering, materials, artificial intelligence, biomedical technologies, sustainability, and digital systems. Research associates and fellows typically work within funded projects led by faculty members, contributing to experiments, simulations, publications, conferences, and industry collaborations. Employment terms, salary, and benefits vary according to qualifications, funding, and the specific appointment level.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island with strong opportunities in research, engineering, biomedical science, electronics, finance, technology, education, and healthcare. The culture is multicultural, orderly, and generally safe, with English widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle options range from busy urban districts and shopping areas to beaches, parks, hawker centres, and quieter neighbourhoods. Public transport is efficient, while housing can be expensive, especially near the city centre; areas around NTU, such as Jurong West and Boon Lay, may offer more convenient options. Foreign professionals usually need an employer-sponsored work pass, commonly an Employment Pass, S Pass, or a relevant research appointment pass, depending on salary and eligibility. Applicants should confirm current Ministry of Manpower rules, arrange health insurance and accommodation, and budget for deposits, transport, utilities, and daily expenses before relocating.
