The role involves teaching translation and localisation, preparing lessons and learning materials, assessing student work, and contributing professional or academic expertise to NTU’s language-related programmes. Candidates are generally expected to hold a relevant degree, with postgraduate qualifications preferred, and have strong practical experience in translation, localisation, terminology, or related language services. Professional fluency in English and relevant working languages is essential. Experience using translation technologies, computer-assisted translation tools, localisation workflows, or industry-standard quality processes would be advantageous. The successful candidate should communicate clearly, engage students effectively, meet teaching and assessment deadlines, and support a high-quality learning experience. Prior university teaching, adult education, or training experience is also desirable.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is a major public research university in Singapore, known internationally for strengths in engineering, science, technology, business, humanities, education, and the social sciences. Its main campus is located in the western part of the island and includes extensive teaching, research, residential, and innovation facilities.

The university serves a large community of undergraduate, postgraduate, academic, and professional staff from Singapore and around the world. Its language, communication, and humanities programmes support interdisciplinary learning and prepare students for careers in education, business, media, translation, and global communication.

Singapore offers opportunities in education, technology, finance, healthcare, logistics, hospitality, research, and international business. English is widely used, and the workplace is generally multicultural, structured, and professional. The culture blends Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences, with hawker food, festivals, shopping, and efficient public transport forming part of daily life. The island is clean, safe, compact, and convenient, although rent and general living costs can be high. Foreign professionals typically need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass, or relevant short-term arrangement; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, and role. Part-time academic appointments may have specific work-authorisation conditions. New arrivals should arrange housing, healthcare coverage, banking, and transport access before starting work. NTU’s western campus is well connected by buses and nearby MRT stations, though commuting from central areas can take time.
