The Research Assistant will support experimental work on perovskite photovoltaic materials and devices. Requirements typically include a relevant bachelor's or master's degree in materials science, chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, or a related discipline, along with knowledge of solar-cell fabrication, characterization, or laboratory techniques. Candidates should be comfortable handling chemicals and laboratory equipment, recording and analyzing experimental data, reviewing scientific literature, and preparing reports or research papers. The role requires careful laboratory practice, problem-solving ability, teamwork, and clear communication. Experience with thin-film deposition, device testing, spectroscopy, microscopy, or data-analysis software would be advantageous. The candidate is expected to work independently while contributing reliably to the research group's objectives.

Singapore is a compact, well-connected island with opportunities in research, engineering, technology, healthcare, finance, education, and advanced manufacturing. Its culture blends Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with English used widely in workplaces. The lifestyle is safe and convenient, supported by excellent public transport, reliable healthcare, shopping, parks, and diverse food options. Housing can be expensive, especially near central areas, so many employees consider rooms or apartments near MRT lines and NTU’s western campus. Foreign research staff generally need an appropriate work pass, commonly an Employment Pass or S Pass, arranged with employer support; eligibility depends on salary and qualifications. New arrivals should budget for rent, transport, deposits, insurance, and daily expenses, and check current rules with Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower. Tropical weather is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain.
