Research Fellow (Nonlinear Optics and Metrology)

Singapore National Technological University Approximately S$5,000–S$8,000 per month*
Job Description

The Research Fellow will conduct research in nonlinear optics and optical metrology, likely involving experimental design, laser and photonics systems, precision measurement, data analysis, and publication of results. Applicants typically need a PhD in physics, photonics, optical engineering, electrical engineering, or a closely related field, together with relevant research experience. Practical skills in nonlinear optics, spectroscopy, ultrafast lasers, instrumentation, numerical modelling, or laboratory techniques are advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to work independently and collaboratively, maintain rigorous laboratory and safety standards, communicate findings clearly, publish in reputable journals, and contribute to research projects, reports, and grant-related activities.

Company Info

Destination Guide

Singapore offers strong opportunities in university research, semiconductors, photonics, engineering, biotechnology, finance, technology, and advanced manufacturing. It is a multicultural city-state where English is widely used, while Chinese, Malay, Tamil, and many other languages are also part of daily life. The lifestyle is safe, efficient, and convenient, with excellent public transport, modern healthcare, shopping, hawker food, parks, and easy regional travel. Housing can be expensive, especially near central areas, so many newcomers consider shared accommodation or locations close to MRT lines. Foreign researchers normally need an appropriate work pass, commonly an Employment Pass or another Ministry of Manpower-approved pass arranged with the employer. Before relocating, check visa eligibility, medical requirements, rental costs, tax rules, insurance, and family-dependant options. NTU is in the western part of Singapore and is well connected by bus and MRT services.
