Research Associate (Horticulture and Plant Physiology)

The School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) at NTU Singapore, in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research (WUR), is part of the Singapore Indoor Farming System (SingFarm)—a CREATE-NRF programme focused on building a sustainable, data-driven food production model with strong industry relevance. The programme contributes to Singapore’s ambition of achieving 20 per cent local production of its fibre (vegetables, mushrooms, etc.) by 2035. The candidate will work in a multinational team at the forefront of Singapore’s agricultural innovation and food security.

The Research Associate will take on a significant role in developing and applying simulation and machine learning models for Asian leafy vegetables to predict growth, transpiration, resource use, and yield under controlled environments, with a focus on production under higher temperature and humidity. The Research Associate will also build self-learning models using continuous sensor data...
