The role involves teaching translation and localisation, preparing lessons and learning materials, delivering lectures or tutorials, assessing student work, and contributing professional or academic expertise to the programme. Candidates are typically expected to hold a relevant postgraduate qualification or substantial industry experience in translation, localisation, linguistics, or a related field. Professional experience with translation technologies, computer-assisted translation tools, multilingual content, or localisation workflows is desirable. Strong communication, teaching, organisation, and student-engagement skills are essential. Fluency in relevant languages and the ability to work effectively with diverse learners are also likely to be required.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major public research university located in western Singapore. It is recognised internationally for teaching, research, innovation, and strong industry partnerships. The university offers programmes across engineering, science, business, humanities, education, medicine, and the social sciences, serving a large community of students and researchers. NTU is home to the National Institute of Education and several interdisciplinary research institutes, supporting Singapore’s development as a global knowledge and technology hub. Its main campus combines academic facilities, laboratories, student residences, libraries, sports amenities, and green spaces. NTU employs full-time and part-time academic staff, professional services teams, researchers, and industry practitioners who contribute to teaching, research, and engagement activities.
Singapore offers opportunities in education, technology, finance, healthcare, logistics, tourism, and multinational business. It is a safe, efficient, multicultural city-state where English is widely used, alongside Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. Life is convenient, with excellent public transport, reliable healthcare, diverse food, and abundant shopping and recreation, although housing and daily expenses can be high. Foreign professionals generally need an appropriate work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass, or a relevant work permit; the employer normally submits the application. Part-time academic appointments may have specific eligibility and work-authorisation requirements, so these should be confirmed with NTU and Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower. New arrivals should budget carefully, arrange accommodation early, obtain health coverage, and learn local employment and tax rules.
