The Research Associate will support research in embodied artificial intelligence, combining machine learning, computer vision, robotics and intelligent interaction with the physical world. Candidates typically need a degree in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence or a related discipline, along with practical experience in Python, deep learning frameworks and robotic or simulation platforms. Research experience, publications and knowledge of reinforcement learning, perception, control or multimodal models are advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to conduct experiments, develop and test algorithms, analyse results, prepare technical reports or papers, and work effectively with faculty members, students and industry collaborators. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are important.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is recognised internationally for engineering, technology, science, business, education and interdisciplinary research, with strong links to industry and public-sector organisations. NTU operates a large campus with advanced laboratories, research centres and innovation facilities, and attracts students, academics and researchers from around the world. Its work spans areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, sustainability, biomedical sciences, materials, digital technology and smart cities. Research associates generally contribute to grant-funded projects under the guidance of principal investigators, collaborating with postgraduate students and external partners. The university offers a highly international working environment and opportunities to publish research, develop specialist expertise and participate in projects with practical and societal impact.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in artificial intelligence, robotics, engineering, finance, healthcare, logistics, education and technology, with many roles concentrated around one well-connected island. The culture is multicultural and generally orderly, combining Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences. English is widely used at work and in daily life. Public transport is efficient, healthcare is high quality and neighbourhoods are safe, although rent and dining in central areas can be expensive. Newcomers often live near MRT stations in areas such as Jurong, Queenstown, Bishan or the east. Employment usually requires an employer-sponsored work pass: professionals commonly use the Employment Pass, while some research roles may use an S Pass or another suitable permit, subject to current salary and eligibility rules. Applicants should confirm requirements with NTU and Singapore's Ministry of Manpower. The tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain.
