Singapore NTU (Nanyang Technology University- Main Office-HR) Full time
A Research Fellow position is currently available in the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS).

The Climate Transformation Programme (CTP) aims to develop, inspire and accelerate knowledge-based solutions and educate future leaders to establish the stable climate and environment necessary for resilient, just, and sustainable Southeast Asian societies.

CTP will generate knowledge and innovation across disciplines including climate and Earth science, ecology, materials science, artificial intelligence, humanities, social sciences and the arts, finance, health, and engineering. It will also translate state-of-the-art scientific results into real world solutions for Singapore, and it will transfer these solutions to Southeast Asia (SEA) and beyond.

As part of this programme, Cluster 1: Climate processes and extremes will address key knowledge gaps in the understanding and modelling of the physical processes and impacts of climate change with specific focus on Singapore and the equatorial SEA region.

CTP is looking for ambitious, highly motivated Research Fellow (post-doctoral scholar). The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Prof Adam Switzer to investigate quantification of uncertainties in future cyclone risk in the Asia Pacific and apply novel statistical techniques to enable policymakers and planners to understand plausible worst-case scenarios with rising sea-level and changing climate. We're looking for a collaborative individual with a passion for learning, who would enjoy working with people from a wide range of disciplines, with a goal to connecting the dots between the components.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Conduct computer simulations by modelling components of climate change drivers, precipitation and their inter-dependencies.
  • Interface with climate modeling experts and industry partners on the relevant data for extreme event modeling and analysis.
  • Manage, analyse, and interpret complex datasets, employing the latest methodologies and tools for accurate and efficient data processing.
  • Engage in close collaboration with experts across diverse disciplines, integrating various datasets to enhance the understanding on scientific prediction of sea-level rise.
  • Develop key case studies that can inform and support policy decisions, emphasizing practical applications of research findings in risk management and mitigation strategies.
  • Prepare research outputs in formats accessible to policymakers, risk stakeholders, and the broader community, ensuring clear and effective communication of complex scientific information.
  • Present, publish, and communicate research results in scientific meetings, scholarly journals, and other relevant platforms, contributing to the broader scientific discourse.
  • Provide guidance and support to junior team members, students, and research assistants, fostering an environment of learning and professional growth.


Job Requirements:
  • Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Geography, Climate Science, or another related field.
  • Post-doctoral experience is an advantage.
  • Strong fundamentals of climate variability and change, geoscience and atmospheric science, physical oceanography, and meteorological observations.
  • Expertise and interests in climate modelling, data analysis, and statistical methods.
  • Track record of publishing research relevant to the position in international recognised journals.
  • Evidence of excellent communication skills.
  • Evidence of independence in research direction and team spirit.


EOS seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity. We welcome applications from all and recruit on the basis of merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status and family responsibilities, or disability. Interested applicants should submit a CV and a statement of interests. Evaluation of application starts immediately until the position is filled.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
