The Research Assistant will support child developmental psychology studies at NTU, including literature reviews, participant recruitment, behavioural assessments, data collection, statistical analysis, and research documentation. Candidates typically need a relevant degree in psychology, education, neuroscience, social sciences, or a related discipline. Experience with children, experimental research, quantitative methods, or software such as SPSS, R, or Python is advantageous. The role requires careful attention to detail, ethical handling of participant information, strong communication skills, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Candidates should be comfortable interacting with children and families, following research protocols, meeting deadlines, and contributing to publications, reports, and presentations.

Singapore offers strong opportunities in universities, technology, healthcare, finance, education, biomedical research, and public-sector organisations. English is widely used at work, while the culture combines Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences. Life is convenient and safe, with excellent public transport, reliable services, diverse food, and easy access to parks and beaches, although rent and daily expenses can be high. Most foreign professionals need an employment pass or another Ministry of Manpower work permit; the employer normally submits the application, and eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, and experience. New arrivals should budget carefully for housing, deposits, insurance, transport, and utilities. Popular residential areas include Queenstown, Bishan, Tampines, and the city centre. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, so lightweight clothing and practical planning are essential.
