The Research Fellow will conduct research on polymer design and mechanical properties, likely involving polymer synthesis or processing, materials characterization, mechanical testing, data analysis, and preparation of research papers and reports. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in materials science, polymer science, chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline. Experience with polymer materials, laboratory instrumentation, mechanical testing, experimental design, and scientific writing is advantageous. The successful candidate should work independently and collaboratively, maintain careful research records, communicate findings clearly, support project goals, and contribute to publications, presentations, and other research activities.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for strengths in engineering, materials science, science, technology, business, medicine, and interdisciplinary research. NTU supports a large community of students, academic staff, researchers, and professional employees, with extensive laboratories, research centres, and partnerships with industry and public-sector organisations. Its research covers areas such as advanced materials, sustainability, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics, and nanotechnology. The university provides an internationally oriented working environment and regularly recruits research fellows and other specialists for externally funded projects. NTU’s main campus is in the western part of Singapore and offers modern academic, laboratory, recreational, and residential facilities.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in university research, advanced manufacturing, technology, engineering, healthcare, finance, and biomedical science. The culture is multicultural, efficient, and generally professional, with English widely used at work. Life is convenient and safe, supported by excellent public transport, healthcare, shopping, and diverse food options. Housing can be expensive, especially near central areas, while public transport makes commuting from surrounding neighbourhoods practical. Foreign research fellows commonly require an Employment Pass or related work authorisation arranged by the employer; requirements depend on salary, qualifications, and current government rules. New arrivals should budget for rent, deposits, transport, insurance, and daily expenses, and should verify tax, employment-pass, and housing arrangements before relocating. Singapore is tropical, warm, and humid throughout the year, with frequent rain.
