The Research Fellow will conduct independent and collaborative research in materials science, engineering, or mechanical engineering, contributing to experimental design, laboratory work, data analysis, simulations, publications, and research reports. Candidates typically need a PhD in materials science, mechanical engineering, or a closely related discipline, along with relevant research experience. Knowledge of materials characterization, advanced manufacturing, mechanics, computational modelling, or laboratory techniques is advantageous. The role expects strong analytical, problem-solving, writing, and communication skills, as well as the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams and manage research activities to agreed deadlines.

Singapore is a compact, safe, and highly connected island city with strong opportunities in higher education, research, engineering, technology, finance, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, efficient, and generally respectful of personal and professional standards. Residents enjoy excellent public transport, diverse food, modern amenities, green spaces, and easy regional travel. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central areas, so many newcomers rent rooms or apartments in locations connected by MRT. Employment Passes are commonly used by foreign professionals, while research appointments may involve an Employment Pass or related work authorisation arranged by the institution. Candidates should budget for rent, healthcare, transport, and deposits, and confirm visa, housing, and relocation details with NTU before moving.
