The Research Fellow will conduct experimental psychology and neuroscience research, design and run behavioural or neurocognitive studies, analyse data, prepare manuscripts, and contribute to presentations and grant-related work. Applicants are generally expected to hold a PhD in experimental psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, or a related discipline, with strong research experience and evidence of scholarly publications. Familiarity with experimental design, statistical analysis, programming, and laboratory or neuroimaging techniques is advantageous. The role requires careful project management, ethical research practice, scientific writing, and the ability to work independently while collaborating with academic staff, students, and research partners.

Singapore offers strong opportunities in universities, biomedical science, technology, finance, healthcare, education, and multinational companies. English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, and other languages reflect the country’s diverse culture. Life is convenient and safe, with excellent public transport, reliable services, international food, shopping, parks, beaches, and a lively arts scene. Housing is expensive, especially near central districts, so many newcomers rent rooms or apartments near MRT lines. Employment generally requires an appropriate work pass; professional research roles commonly use the Employment Pass, subject to salary and eligibility rules, while universities may provide guidance during sponsorship. Before relocating, arrange health insurance, secure temporary accommodation, and check dependent-pass options. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. A valid job offer, careful budgeting, and understanding local employment regulations make the transition easier.
