Assistant / Associate / Full Professor
The chemical and biomedical sectors are the second and third largest manufacturing sectors in Singapore respectively. In response to the increasing importance of their contribution to Singapore’s future economic growth and manufacturing output, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has recently established the new School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. The new School hosts two Divisions: (a) the Division of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering which offer degree programmes in core chemical engineering disciplines with particular interests in pharmaceutical engineering and (b) the Division of Bioengineering which offers biomedical-related degree programmes involving biological and physiological engineering, bioinstrumentation and medical devices, biotechnology and pharmaceutical engineering relevant to the healthcare and medical industry.
The School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering attracts top undergraduate students in Singapore and is well-funded. It is well-equipped with state-of-the-art equipment in materials characterization, separation process and tissue engineering. Successful applicants can look forward to a research-stimulating environment and interaction with some of the best undergraduates’ and postgraduates’ minds in Singapore and Asia. More information can be found at http://www.ntu.edu.sg/scbe/home.html.
The School invites applications for tenure-tracked appointments at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level in both Divisions:
Candidates must have at least a BSc or BEng (Chemical Engineering), a PhD in Chemical Engineering or closely related areas from reputable universities and a track record of excellent publications or preferably successful grant applications. Candidates with an interest and expertise in Process Control, Product and Process Design, Process Systems Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering and Separations Technology are encouraged to apply.

Assistant/Associate Professor in Bioengineering
The biomedical- and life science-related industries in Singapore have seen remarkable growth in recent years. With the demand for trained engineers and researchers with knowledge interfacing engineering and life sciences, 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 1,300 and an enrolment of 19,000 undergraduate and 8,000 graduate students. Its research and infrastructure is very well-funded by the government and industries. As the main science and technology university in Singapore, NTU makes significant contributions to the nation's renewed drive for research.
The Division of Bioengineering of the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at NTU invites applications for tenure-track faculty appointments at the Assistant and Associate Professor level, in all general areas of bioengineering including but not restricted to: bioimaging, biomedical devices, tissue engineering, biomaterials, systems biology, computational biology, and bio-nanotechnology. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in relevant disciplines, preferably with postdoctoral experience and strong record in publication. The newly formed School attracts top undergraduate students in Singapore and regional countries. The well-funded School is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and research, and it is now housed in two new buildings totaling 30,000 square meters. The number of undergraduate students of the Bioengineering Division is approximately 400. The Division is rapidly building up its graduate program with an aim to have 100 graduate students during steady state operation. It is envisaged to have a core faculty size of about 25 and several 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 from the region.
