Career Prospects :: Academic Appointments

Assistant/Associate Professor

The life science and related industries in Singapore and Asia at large have seen tremendous growth in recent years. With the demand for trained engineers and researchers with knowledge interfacing life sciences and engineering, a new bioengineering program has been initiated at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Together with its predecessor Nanyang University, NTU has offered higher education for more than 50 years. NTU boasts of a campus of 200 hectares, an academic staff strength of 1,370 and an enrolment of 16,000 undergraduate students and 7,000 graduate students. Its research and infrastructure is very well-funded by the government and industries.

The Division of Bioengineering at the Nanyang Technological University invites applications for tenure-track faculty appointments at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in all general areas of bioengineering including but not restricted to: tissue engineering, biomaterials, molecular and cellular mechanics, molecular bioengineering, bio-computing, and nano-biotechnology.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in relevant disciplines, preferably with postdoctoral experience and strong publication record. The newly formed Division under College of Engineering attracts top undergraduate students in Singapore and regional countries, and will rapidly build up its graduate program. The well-funded Division will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and research, and it will be housed in a brand new building by 2006. The Division will have a core faculty and joint faculty appointments with other divisions/schools within NTU. Successful applicants can look forward to a research-stimulating environment and interaction with some of the best undergraduate and graduate students in Singapore and Asia.
