The Research Fellow will conduct advanced research in photonic integration, likely involving silicon photonics, optical devices, fabrication processes, simulation, testing, and experimental characterization. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in photonics, electrical engineering, physics, materials science, or a closely related field, with relevant research experience. Experience with photonic integrated circuits, optical measurements, semiconductor fabrication, numerical modelling, or laboratory equipment is advantageous. The successful candidate should be able to work independently and collaboratively, analyse research data, publish findings in peer-reviewed journals, present results at conferences, support grant or project objectives, and contribute to the supervision or mentoring of junior researchers and students.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major public research university located in western Singapore. It is recognised internationally for engineering, technology, science, business, education, and interdisciplinary research. NTU operates a large campus with modern laboratories, research institutes, teaching facilities, student residences, and innovation centres. The university works closely with government agencies, industry partners, and international institutions on areas such as artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, sustainability, biomedical science, semiconductors, and photonics. Research Fellows typically join faculty-led projects funded through competitive grants and may work with multidisciplinary teams and external collaborators. NTU offers an internationally diverse academic environment, access to specialised research infrastructure, and opportunities to publish, attend conferences, and develop expertise in a highly connected technology and innovation ecosystem.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in research, semiconductors, electronics, photonics, engineering, finance, healthcare, education, and technology. Its culture combines Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English widely used in workplaces and daily life. The lifestyle is safe, efficient, and urban, with excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, parks, and easy access to regional destinations. Housing can be expensive, especially near central areas, so newcomers often compare university accommodation, shared apartments, and suburban rentals. Foreign professionals generally need an appropriate work pass; research employees commonly use an Employment Pass or a related institutional pass, subject to eligibility and approval. Before relocating, candidates should confirm sponsorship, salary, housing support, healthcare coverage, tax obligations, and dependent arrangements with NTU. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain.
