The role supports research projects in computer science, cognitive neuroscience, life sciences or engineering at NTU’s Novena Campus. Candidates are generally expected to hold a relevant PhD for Research Fellow appointments, while Senior Research Fellows should have substantial postdoctoral or independent research experience. Strong technical or laboratory skills, research publications, data analysis ability, and experience with relevant experimental, computational or engineering methods are typically required. The successful candidate will design and conduct experiments, analyse results, prepare manuscripts and reports, contribute to grant applications, present findings, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. Good communication, project-management skills, initiative and the ability to work independently are important. Specific requirements may vary according to the appointing school, principal investigator and research project.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major research-intensive university located in Singapore. It is internationally recognised for work in engineering, technology, business, science, medicine, education and the humanities, and is closely connected with industry and public-sector research partners. NTU operates its main campus in the west of Singapore and has additional locations, including the Novena Campus, which focuses particularly on medical and health-related research. The university supports large multidisciplinary research programmes, advanced laboratories, doctoral training and collaboration with global institutions. Employees typically work in an international academic environment with opportunities to publish, attend conferences, develop research networks and contribute to externally funded projects. Research Fellow positions are usually linked to specific grants, laboratories or principal investigators, so duties, contract duration and progression can differ between appointments.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with opportunities in technology, biomedical research, engineering, finance, education, healthcare and advanced manufacturing. Its culture blends Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences, reflected in food, festivals and neighbourhoods. The lifestyle is safe, efficient and urban, with excellent public transport, clean public spaces, shopping, parks and diverse dining. Housing is the main expense: shared apartments are more affordable than central private rentals, while public housing is generally available only to eligible residents. Foreign professionals usually need an Employment Pass or another work pass, normally arranged by the employer; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications and current government criteria. Relocating involves securing employment, arranging accommodation, healthcare coverage and banking, and adapting to a hot, humid climate. English is widely used at work and in daily life. Singapore’s location also makes travel around Southeast Asia convenient.
