The Research Fellow will contribute to research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or education, likely involving study design, data collection, behavioural or neuroscientific methods, statistical analysis, literature reviews, publications, and conference presentations. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD or be close to completing one in psychology, neuroscience, education, cognitive science, or a related discipline. Strong research, analytical, writing, and communication skills are required, along with experience using relevant experimental techniques and statistical software. The successful candidate should work independently and collaboratively, manage research activities responsibly, publish high-quality findings, and contribute positively to the research team and wider academic community.

Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with strong opportunities in universities, technology, healthcare, finance, education, research, and multinational companies. English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil are also official languages. The culture combines Southeast Asian traditions with a modern, international lifestyle; residents enjoy excellent public transport, safe neighbourhoods, diverse food, shopping, parks, and nearby beaches. Housing is generally the largest expense, especially in central areas, although shared accommodation and suburban locations can reduce costs. Foreign professionals usually need an Employment Pass, while qualifying research appointments may use an appropriate work pass sponsored by the institution. Before relocating, candidates should confirm salary, pass eligibility, medical requirements, housing, taxation, and dependent arrangements. Singapore’s efficient transport and small size make commuting straightforward, but the hot, humid climate and competitive rental market require preparation.
