The posting

The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) is a University Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University Singapore that conducts fundamental research on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and climate change in and around Southeast Asia, towards safer and more sustainable societies. For more details, please view https://earthobservatory.sg/

The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) invite applications for the position of Research Engineer (Hydrographic Survey and Geophysics), on a full-time, 2-year fixed-term contract.

The Research Engineer II will join a new project awarded by the Public Utilities Board (PUB) and Coastal Protection and Flood Resilience Institute Singapore (CFI) collecting data from the Johor Strait to better protect Singapore’s coastline amidst climate change. This is an international, multi-institutional and trans-disciplinary program involving top researchers from the local and international community that aims to understand sediment budgets and source-to-sink relationships. Understanding the relationship between local climate drivers, coastal processes and sediment dynamics will allow for improved predictions of coastal change under the variety of climate scenarios in the coming decades.

The work will involve planning and conducting offshore hydrographic and geophysical surveys (multibeam bathymetry), deploying and maintaining ADCPs and other oceanographic instruments, collecting and subsampling seabed sediments for laboratory analysis, and processing and interpreting the resulting data to quantify seabed change and sediment dynamics over monsoonal cycles. Active participation in research will be encouraged, and support for publication and meeting/conference presentations can be available.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and conduct offshore field surveys, including deployment and operation of pole-mounted multibeam echosounder systems for repeated bathymetric surveys across monsoon seasons.
  • Process, QA/QC, analyse and interpret multibeam bathymetric data using GIS and hydrographic software to quantify seabed change and sediment gain and loss.
  • Deploy, retrieve and maintain ADCPs and other field instruments, and process current and water-parameter data for the project’s modelling team.
  • Assist with boxcore sampling and immediate onboard subsampling for laboratory sedimentological and geochemical analysis.
  • Support the project’s geophysics work and maintain survey equipment, calibration logs and field data records.
  • Prepare technical reports, peer-reviewed publications, presentations, and project deliverables.
  • Maintain efficient data collection to ensure accuracy and completeness of data and preparation of the Data Management Plan for annual submission
  • Engage in the dissemination of the results of the research with the support of and under the supervision of the Principal Investigator

Job Requirements:

  • Possess a MSc in Hydrography, Marine Geoscience/Geophysics, Ocean Engineering, Geomatics, or a closely related discipline.
  • Hands-on experience in offshore field surveys, including small-vessel logistics and equipment deployment.
  • Demonstrated experience operating multibeam echosounder systems and processing multibeam bathymetric data. Experience with Norbit and/or R2Sonic systems and with Beamworx software will be advantageous.
  • Working knowledge of sediment (boxcore) sampling and subsampling.
  • Experience in deploying ADCPs and processing ADCP data, and with other field instrumentation, will be advantageous.
  • Proficiency in GIS and in Python, MATLAB, or similar tools will be advantageous.
  • Ability to work independently and to contribute to technical reports and publications.
  • A team player in a project setting, also with ability to work independently in a multi-cultural team environment
  • Excellent written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
