The Research Fellow will conduct advanced research in nanophotonics, potentially involving optical materials, nanostructures, lasers, photonic devices, simulation, fabrication, and experimental characterization. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in physics, electrical or electronic engineering, photonics, materials science, or a closely related discipline. Experience with nanofabrication, optical measurement systems, computational modelling, programming, and scientific publication is advantageous. The successful candidate should work independently and collaboratively, design and analyse experiments, publish results in reputable journals, present findings, support grant-related research, and contribute positively to a multidisciplinary laboratory at NTU.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university with a strong international reputation in engineering, science, technology, business, humanities, and social sciences. Located in the western part of Singapore, its campus combines teaching facilities, research institutes, laboratories, residences, and extensive green spaces. NTU is particularly recognised for research in photonics, materials, electronics, artificial intelligence, sustainability, and biomedical technologies. The university works with government agencies, industry partners, and overseas institutions on projects with global and practical impact. Research Fellows typically join a principal investigator’s laboratory or centre, contributing to funded research, publications, conferences, and collaborations. NTU offers a highly international academic environment, although expectations for research productivity, teamwork, and professional independence are generally high.
Singapore is a compact, safe, and multicultural island with strong opportunities in universities, advanced manufacturing, technology, finance, healthcare, and research. English is widely used, and daily life is convenient, clean, and well connected by MRT and buses. The culture blends Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, reflected in festivals, food, and neighbourhoods. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central areas, but shared apartments and locations near MRT stations can reduce costs. Singapore has a hot, humid climate throughout the year. Foreign Research Fellows usually require an Employment Pass or another work pass arranged through the university; eligibility depends on salary and qualifications. Before relocating, candidates should budget for rent, deposits, insurance, transport, and initial living costs. Most newcomers find the city easy to navigate, though its fast-paced environment and high cost of living require planning.
