The posting

We are seeking an accomplished and visionary Principal Scientist to lead the development of the next generation of optoelectronic devices based on flat optical technologies (e.g., metasurfaces and metalenses). This role combines scientific leadership, strategic innovation, and cross-functional collaboration to translate advanced nanophotonic concepts into impactful technologies and applications.

Long Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and drive research directions for flat optics–enabled optoelectronic devices.
  • Generate innovative concepts and lead their translation from theory to prototype and system-level integration.
  • Lead and manage multidisciplinary teams spanning design, simulation, fabrication, and optical characterization.
  • Oversee end-to-end project execution, including planning, resource allocation, risk management, and delivery of milestones.
  • Establish and lead collaborations with universities, research institutes, and industry partners to co-develop new technologies and solutions.
  • Identify and pursue funding opportunities, including competitive grants and industry partnerships.
  • Drive intellectual property (IP) creation and high-impact publications.
  • Mentor junior scientists and engineers, fostering a strong innovation culture.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Photonics, or a closely related field.
  • Extensive experience in nanophotonics, flat optics (metasurfaces/metalenses), and optoelectronic devices.
  • Proven track record of leading research programs and delivering complex projects.
  • Demonstrated ability to initiate ideas and translate them into tangible outcomes (prototypes, IP, or products).
  • Strong experience working across design, fabrication, and characterization domains.
  • Established network and experience in academic and industry collaboration.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in scaling technologies from lab to real-world applications.
  • Track record of securing research funding and managing large grants.
  • Experience supervising and developing high-performing research teams.
  • Strong publication and patent portfolio in relevant fields.

The above eligibility criteria are not exhaustive. A*STAR may include additional selection criteria based on its prevailing recruitment policies. These policies may be amended from time to time without notice. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.

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.
