Yale-NUS College has two types of postdoctoral fellowships in the Division of Science: 1) The Yale-NUS Postdoctoral Fellowship open to qualified applicants of all nationalities, and 2) the Yale-NUS Career Development Postdoctoral Fellowship open to Singaporean citizens. Each fellowship is summarised below.
The Yale-NUS Postdoctoral Fellowship – Division of Science
The goal of the Yale-NUS Postdoctoral Fellowship is to attract talented young international scholars that have completed a doctoral degree to engage in high quality scientific research at the College. Postdoctoral appointees will be paired with a Yale-NUS faculty mentor, are expected to conduct high quality research within their particular field of expertise, and will teach one course per semester, with approximately half of the teaching within the Common Curriculum (https://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/curriculum/common-curriculum/). Potential applicants are strongly advised in the first instance to contact the relevant faculty member in their field (https://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/about/faculty/) and discuss available research projects and teaching opportunities.
Appointment & Salary:
Normally, individuals are appointed initially for a 1-year period with the possibility of a 2-year extension, and serve for a maximum of 3 years. Individuals who successfully complete a three-year fellowship with distinction may be considered for subsequent tenure-track or educator-track positions following the term of their fellowships, provided the College has tenure-track or educator track vacancies in the Division of Science. Postdoctoral Fellows should be prepared to start the position in time for the 2018-2019 academic year (1st July 2018). Annual salary is $72,000 (Singaporean dollars) with standard benefits. A modest research stipend may also be provided.
