Teaching Fellows / Assistant Professors / Associate Professors / Professors
The School of Materials Science and Engineering is the largest materials science and engineering institution in Singapore, comprising a strong team of 130 staff members and more than 1200 students. The School is sited on its own 6-storey building and has other extensive facilities within the university ground.
The School has major funded research programs and is actively seeking full-time tenure-track faculty members in the following areas:
(A) Nanoporous / mesoporous structures & characterization
We are seeking outstanding young scientists with some years of postdoctoral experience to work in the area of nano-/mesoporous synthesis and characterization. The successful candidate will be formally trained as a chemist or materials scientist with a demonstrable record in solid state synthesis. Applicants must possess a PhD degree. Innovative and creative individuals who are able to develop an independent research program supported in part by external funding will be preferred.
Proven teaching and training experience at university level would be a strong advantage. Specialization in one or more of the characterization tools available in the School is essential. Experience in the operation and maintenance of electron microscopes, surface analytical equipment or synchrotron beam lines is required.
(B) Clean Energy / Ecological Materials
We are recruiting outstanding candidates working towards new and innovative materials for the next generation of clean energy technologies that could include organic and inorganic materials for solar cells, fuel cells, thermo electric materials, catalysis, energy and gas storage amongst others. Individuals who have a strong inclination towards original materials synthesis, functionalization, nanofabrication or characterization would be preferred.
The candidate is expected to hold a PhD degree. Postdoctoral experience in the related fields of expertise is preferred. The successful candidate is expected to form and lead his/her own dynamic research team, participate in relevant collaborative research, and be a proficient educator in the school’s graduate and undergraduate programs.
(C) Biomimetics / Novel Biomaterials
We are seeking highly qualified candidates with some years of postdoctoral experience to work in the area of structure-property relationships in biological materials or structures, particularly of bio-organic structural materials. In particular, a background in the study of the following areas is preferred:
- structure of collagen, elastin, polysacharides and their combinations in various tissues;
- structure of blood vessels, bone and other tissue;
- development of new materials to mimic function of body tissue such as blood vessels, pancreas, blood
Candidates with background in other areas of biomimetics, including inorganic structures, are also welcome to apply. Individuals who are working in the area of artificial proteins will also be considered.
A PhD in Materials Science & Engineering or Chemical/Biomolecular Engineering or Chemistry is required. Postdoctoral experience is desirable but not essential. A strong publication record is also required.
(D) Nuclear materials / Metallurgy / Ceramics
We are inviting applications for faculty appointment in the areas of Nuclear Materials, towards new and innovative materials for next generation of nuclear technologies; Metallurgy, such as light metals and super-alloys for advanced applications; and Ceramic Materials, for both functional and structural applications.
Candidates must possess a PhD degree, preferably with postdoctoral experience in the relevant areas. The successful candidate is expected to work in a dynamic research environment, conduct undergraduate / graduate teaching, provide student supervision, initiate applied research and collaborate extensively with local/overseas research institutions.
