The Research Scientist will conduct research in computer science or electrical engineering, contribute to funded projects, develop and test technical solutions, analyse results, and publish findings in academic journals or conferences. Candidates are generally expected to hold a relevant PhD or advanced degree, with strong programming, mathematical, engineering, or experimental research skills. Experience in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer systems, communications, robotics, or embedded technologies may be valuable. The successful candidate should work independently, collaborate effectively with faculty and research teams, communicate results clearly, and meet project milestones. Depending on the project, experience supervising students, preparing reports, securing intellectual property, or working with industry partners may also be expected.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major public research university located in western Singapore. It is internationally recognised for engineering, computer science, science, business, education, and interdisciplinary research. NTU operates a large, technology-focused campus and works closely with government agencies, industry partners, hospitals, and research institutes. Its research community covers areas including artificial intelligence, sustainability, advanced materials, cybersecurity, robotics, biomedical sciences, and communications. The university employs academic, research, technical, and professional staff from Singapore and around the world. Research Scientists typically join a principal investigator’s laboratory or a funded centre, contributing to publications, prototypes, experiments, and collaborative projects. Employment terms and salary can vary according to qualifications, funding source, research experience, and contract duration.
Singapore offers strong opportunities in technology, engineering, research, finance, healthcare, education, and advanced manufacturing. The culture is multicultural and generally safe, orderly, and English-friendly, with Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences. Life is convenient: public transport is excellent, healthcare is high quality, and hawker food is affordable, although rent can be expensive. The island is compact, allowing easy access to beaches, parks, shopping districts, and neighbouring countries. Foreign professionals usually need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass or S Pass; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, and government assessment. Researchers may also use institution-supported passes or relevant talent schemes. Before relocating, budget carefully for housing, deposits, insurance, and schooling if applicable. NTU is near Jurong West, where housing may be more affordable than central Singapore, with good transport links to the rest of the island.
