The Research Associate will contribute to research on embodied artificial intelligence safety, likely involving robotics, machine learning, simulation, human-robot interaction, and the evaluation of AI systems operating in physical environments. Applicants generally need a relevant master's or doctoral degree in computer science, robotics, artificial intelligence, electrical engineering, or a related discipline, together with programming experience, commonly in Python and machine-learning frameworks. The candidate is expected to conduct experiments, analyse data, prepare technical reports and academic publications, collaborate with researchers, and present findings. Strong problem-solving, communication, research, and project-management skills are valued. Experience with reinforcement learning, computer vision, robotics, or AI safety would be advantageous.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major public research university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for strengths in engineering, science, technology, business, education, medicine, and interdisciplinary research. NTU operates a large residential campus and works closely with government agencies, technology companies, research institutes, and global academic partners. Its research community covers areas including artificial intelligence, robotics, sustainability, advanced materials, digital technology, and healthcare. Research Associates typically work within laboratories, schools, centres, or externally funded projects under the guidance of principal investigators. The university offers an international working environment, access to modern research facilities, and opportunities to publish, collaborate, and develop specialist expertise. Employment terms, benefits, and salary depend on qualifications, funding arrangements, and the specific appointment.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city-state with strong opportunities in technology, artificial intelligence, engineering, finance, healthcare, education, logistics, and research. The culture is multicultural, combining Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle is convenient and generally safe, although housing and dining in central areas can be expensive. Public transport is efficient, and NTU is located in the west, with relatively easy access to nearby residential districts and amenities. Foreign professionals commonly require an Employment Pass, while eligible research or academic appointments may use other work-pass arrangements; the employer normally supports the application. New arrivals should budget for rental deposits, healthcare coverage, transport, and the tropical climate. Singapore offers excellent infrastructure and career networking, but candidates should confirm visa eligibility, contract terms, relocation support, and cost-of-living expectations before accepting an offer.
