The Senior Research Fellow will conduct advanced research in materials chemistry and chemical engineering, likely focusing on experimental development, materials synthesis, characterization, process design, and publication of results. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in materials chemistry, chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science, or a closely related discipline, with strong research experience and a record of peer-reviewed publications. Practical expertise in laboratory techniques, analytical instrumentation, data interpretation, and scientific writing is important. The role also requires independence, project-management ability, collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, supervision of junior researchers or students, and the ability to secure results against project milestones. Experience with industry collaboration or grant-funded research would be advantageous.

Singapore offers strong opportunities in universities, biotechnology, advanced manufacturing, chemicals, electronics, healthcare, finance, and technology. Its culture is multicultural, orderly, English-friendly, and shaped by Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences. Life is convenient and safe, with excellent public transport, reliable services, varied food, and abundant shopping and outdoor spaces, although housing and daily expenses can be high. Professionals usually rent apartments or rooms near MRT lines, while families may consider suburban areas with international schools. Foreign researchers typically need an Employment Pass or another work authorization arranged by the employer; dependants may qualify for related passes subject to rules. Applicants should verify current Ministry of Manpower requirements, salary thresholds, and documentation before relocating. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, so lightweight clothing and good air conditioning are useful.
