Soft & Stretchable Electronics Research Fellow

Nanyang Technological University Singapore; Singapore; On-site; SGD 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Nanyang Technological University Singapore invites applications for a Research Fellow to advance soft, flexible, and stretchable electronic materials and devices. You will lead design, fabrication, and characterisation of soft functional films and interfaces for wearable sensors and bio-integrated systems, bridging materials science and soft electronics.

The role emphasizes mechanical/strain engineering, adhesion, and reliable device performance under deformation, with opportunities to mentor

Qualifications

• PhD in Materials Science, Chemistry, Bioengineering, Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated research experience in flexible/stretchable electronics, soft or bio-derived functional materials, or soft device interfaces.
• Strong background in design and characterisation of soft materials and/or device interfaces, including adhesion, mechanical/strain engineering, and electromechanical behaviour on soft substrates.
• Familiarity with microstructural, chemical, mechanical, and electrical/electromechanical characterisation methods; data-analysis skills (e.g., MATLAB) is an advantage.
• Publication record in reputable journals and ability to independently drive research tasks to completion.

Responsibilities

• Design, fabricate, and characterise soft materials and device interfaces for flexible, stretchable, and bio-integrated electronic devices, including biointerfaces for electrophysiological and environmental sensing.
• Develop soft and bio-derived functional materials, adhesive and interface designs, and mechanical/strain-engineering strategies for strong adhesion and reliable function under deformation.
• Conduct microstructural, chemical, mechanical, and electromechanical characterization, including electrical and reliability evaluation under bending, stretching, and cyclic deformation.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary researchers to integrate soft-material and device solutions into flexible and stretchable electronic systems, sensors, and platforms where relevant.
• Assist in manuscript preparation, conference presentations, grant development, and reporting to funding agencies and collaborators.
• Mentor junior researchers and students, and support general laboratory management, procurement and equipment coordination where required.
