Research Fellow (Flow Chemistry)

As a Research Fellow in Flow Chemistry at NTU, your main responsibilities include constructing flexible flow platforms for small-scale conversions, automating processes, and maintaining lab equipment. You'll also be involved in producing high-quality research reports and mentoring junior researchers.

To qualify for the Research Fellow position in Flow Chemistry at NTU, you need a doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field. Experience in Python programming, flow chemistry, reactor design, and process control is also essential.

NTU fosters a vibrant research environment that encourages inter-disciplinary collaboration among Research Fellows. As part of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, you'll work alongside experts in various fields, enhancing your research experience.

The Decarbonisation Programme at NTU focuses on optimizing biomass extraction and developing sustainable processes through research funded by the Singapore Max-Planck Alliance. Your role will directly contribute to these goals through innovative flow chemistry solutions.

Absolutely! As a Research Fellow in Flow Chemistry at NTU, you'll be encouraged to conduct independent research while also collaborating with a team. This balance allows for innovative ideas and enhances the overall research output.

Discuss specific projects you've worked on that involved flow chemistry, highlighting the techniques you've used and how they can benefit the research objectives at NTU.

Share examples of how you've used Python for data analysis, automation, or simulations in your past research experience, demonstrating your programming skills relevant to the role.

Describe your experience with maintaining lab equipment, including procedures you've established for inventory management and supplier coordination. Highlight the importance of equipment reliability in successful research.

Discuss an instance where you mentored junior researchers or students, focusing on how your guidance improved their skills and the project's outcome.

Provide a definition of closed-loop optimization and elaborate on its significance in flow chemistry, including how it can enhance process efficiency and sustainability.

Discuss any projects where you've applied CFD, explaining the context, your role, and how CFD contributed to achieving project goals related to flow processes.

Outline your research planning process, emphasizing goal setting, literature review, experimentation, and data analysis, while demonstrating your ability to self-motivate.

Share your techniques for fostering collaboration, such as open communication, respecting diverse perspectives, and leveraging each team member's strengths in achieving common objectives.

Explain your problem-solving strategies, such as reevaluating project goals, seeking input from colleagues, and being adaptable to changes in research direction.

Express your passion for sustainability and innovation, discussing how the goals of the Decarbonisation Programme align with your research interests and career aspirations.
