Research Fellow (Multifunctional Fibres)

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is one of the founding Schools of the Nanyang Technological University. Built on a culture of excellence, the School is renowned for its high academic standards and research. With over 3,000 undergraduates students and 2,000 graduate students it is one of the largest EEE schools in the world and ranks 4th in the field of Electrical & Electronic Engineering in the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subjects. Today, the School has become one of the world’s largest engineering schools that nurtures competent engineers and researchers. Each year, the School graduates over a thousand students who are ready to take on great ambitions and challenges. For more details, please view: We are looking for a Research Fellow to lead and drive the research for the group's advanced-materials programmes in multifunctional fibres, two-dimensional (2D) material coatings, and thermal management. The Research Fellow will develop high-performance composite fibres with enhanced electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The role also develops thermal-management materials for efficient heat dissipation, contributing to advanced materials for aerospace and next-generation electronic applications. Key Responsibilities: Design, fabricate, and post-process multifunctional composite fibres (carbonization, chemical vapour deposition / infiltration, BN and MXene coating, and fibre spinning) to enhance their electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Formulate functional inks for fibre coating and direct spinning, and develop and optimise the coating and spinning processes. Develop thermal-management materials – high-thermal-conductivity composites, phase-change and thermal-interface materials – for efficient heat dissipation and thermal control. Perform and analyse material characterisation (SEM, TEM, AFM, Raman, XPS, UV-Vis) and thermal / electrical property measurements. Design experiments, optimise process parameters, benchmark enhanced materials, and evaluate EMI-shielding and real-application performance. Prepare reports, deliverables, and presentations for project meetings and milestones, and mentor PhD students. Job Requirements: Possess PhD degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Material Science, Physics or related disciplines. Experience in operating CVD systems for growth of 2D and other nanomaterials. Experience in nanomaterial characterization techniques. Good management skills. Good interpersonal skills. Excellent teamwork awareness. Good communication and writing in English - essential for data analysis and communication with stakeholders Strong responsibility for research / work.
