Job Description and Requirements

About the role

The Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy and Environment (ISCE²) is seeking a motivated Research Engineer to support our research focus in adaptive and sustainable soft matter materials. You will join a multidisciplinary team developing next-generation functional and sustainable materials – from monomer and crosslinker design through to advanced polymer platforms with applications in adhesives, coatings, gels and stimuli-responsive systems. The position bridges fundamental materials chemistry and applied industrial translation, offering the opportunity to work alongside leading scientists and directly with industry partners.

Key responsibilities

  • Design and execute organic synthesis of novel monomers, crosslinkers and functional building blocks.
  • Develop and optimise controlled polymerisation routes (e.g., free-radical, photo-initiated and step-growth chemistries) to deliver target polymer properties.
  • Formulate and characterise functional polymer systems, including adhesives, hydrogels/organogels and stimuli-responsive networks.
  • Establish structure–property relationships through rigorous chemical, thermal, mechanical and spectroscopic characterisation.
  • Support scale-up and process transfer of promising formulations toward pilot and industrial application.
  • Maintain meticulous experimental records, and contribute to technical reports, patents and peer-reviewed publications.
  • Present findings clearly to internal teams and industry stakeholders, and uphold laboratory safety, quality and data-integrity standards.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or a closely related discipline.
  • Demonstrated hands-on expertise in organic synthesis and/or polymer chemistry, with a strong grasp of reaction mechanisms and purification techniques.
  • Proficiency with standard characterisation methods (e.g., NMR, FTIR, GPC/SEC, DSC/TGA, rheology).
  • Strong problem-solving ability, experimental rigour and attention to detail.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary environment.

Desirable

  • Experience with functional or sustainable polymers, adhesives, ionic liquids, photopolymers, or debondable/recyclable materials.
  • Familiarity with formulation, coating or thin-film processing.
  • A track record of peer-reviewed publications, patents or successful industry collaboration.

What we offer

You will work in one of Singapore's foremost public-sector research environments, with access to state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant network of academic and industry collaborators. ISCE² is committed to sustainability-driven innovation, and you will play a direct role in translating chemistry into real-world impact.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
