This role involves conducting research on safe-driving assessments for autonomous vehicles, likely through simulation, experimental testing, data analysis and development of evaluation methods. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD or be close to completing one in engineering, computer science, transportation, robotics, human factors or a related field. Relevant experience with autonomous driving, vehicle safety, intelligent transport systems, modelling, programming or statistical analysis is advantageous. The successful candidate should be able to work independently and collaboratively, communicate research findings clearly, publish in academic or professional venues, and contribute to reports, presentations and project deliverables. Familiarity with tools such as Python, MATLAB, simulation platforms or real-world driving data may be required.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for work in engineering, science, technology, business, social sciences, education and sustainability. NTU supports a wide range of interdisciplinary research through schools, institutes, laboratories and industry partnerships. Its research community works on areas including artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, clean technology, advanced manufacturing, transport and urban solutions. The university provides an international academic environment with opportunities for researchers to publish, collaborate with industry and contribute to projects addressing practical regional and global challenges. This position appears connected with CleanTech One and research into autonomous-vehicle safety, aligning with NTU’s focus on applied innovation and sustainable technology.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in research, engineering, artificial intelligence, transport technology, electronics, finance, healthcare and education. English is widely used at work, and the culture combines Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences, with excellent food and efficient public services. Life is convenient and generally safe, although rent and daily expenses can be high, especially near the city centre. Public transport is extensive, so owning a car is rarely necessary. Overseas hires typically need an Employment Pass, while universities may arrange the relevant work authorisation after appointment; requirements and salary thresholds can change. New arrivals should budget for housing deposits, healthcare, transport and an initial settling-in period. Singapore’s warm, humid climate, compact geography and easy access to Southeast Asia make it attractive for professionals and researchers seeking an international base.
