The Research Associate will conduct computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research, develop and validate numerical models, analyse simulation results, and support publications, reports, and research proposals. Candidates typically need a PhD or master's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, applied mathematics, or a related discipline, with strong knowledge of CFD, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and numerical methods. Experience with software such as ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, or similar tools, together with programming skills in Python, MATLAB, or C++, is advantageous. The role expects independent research, careful technical documentation, teamwork with academic and industry partners, and the ability to meet project milestones.

Singapore offers strong opportunities in engineering, advanced manufacturing, clean technology, research, data science, finance, healthcare, and education. Its culture is multicultural, English-speaking, efficient, and generally welcoming to international professionals. The lifestyle is safe and convenient, with excellent public transport, diverse food, modern amenities, and easy access to parks and regional travel. Housing can be expensive, particularly near the city centre and popular university areas, so many newcomers rent rooms or share apartments. Employment Passes are commonly used by foreign professionals, while the S Pass may apply to eligible technical roles subject to salary and quota rules. Employers usually handle or support applications. Before relocating, candidates should confirm sponsorship, contract terms, healthcare coverage, taxes, and housing costs. Singapore's tropical climate is hot and humid throughout the year, with frequent rain.
