The Senior Research Fellow will conduct and lead interdisciplinary research spanning games studies, computer science, interactive media, digital arts, education, psychology and media studies. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in a relevant discipline, have a strong academic publication record, research-design and analytical skills, and experience working across disciplinary or international teams. Experience with game technologies, digital media, user studies, learning technologies or computational methods may be advantageous. The successful candidate should develop research outputs, support grant applications, supervise or mentor junior researchers, contribute to project reporting, and collaborate effectively with academic and industry partners. Excellent written and spoken English, independence, initiative and the ability to manage competing research deadlines are likely to be important.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is widely recognised for strengths in engineering, technology, science, business, education, social sciences, humanities and interdisciplinary research. The university operates a large, modern campus and collaborates with government agencies, international universities and industry partners on research and innovation projects. NTU supports research centres and institutes working in areas such as artificial intelligence, digital technologies, sustainability, health, learning sciences and media. Its academic and research staff come from many countries, creating an international working environment. The university offers opportunities to publish, secure research funding, participate in global collaborations and translate research into practical or commercial impact. This role is likely connected with NTU’s interdisciplinary work involving games, interactive media, digital arts and related human-centred fields.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with strong opportunities in universities, technology, finance, healthcare, engineering, education, media and research. English is widely used at work, while Chinese, Malay and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, organised and generally safe, with an emphasis on efficiency, punctuality and respect. Lifestyle options range from hawker food and vibrant neighbourhoods to museums, parks, beaches and excellent public transport. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, so many newcomers rent rooms or shared apartments. International researchers normally need an employment pass or another work authorisation arranged by the employer; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications and prevailing government rules. Applicants should budget for rent, deposits, transport, healthcare and relocation costs. Singapore’s warm, humid climate and occasional heavy rain are year-round considerations. NTU’s main campus is in the western part of the island and is served by buses and nearby MRT connections.
