Experience in coral bleaching research, reef resilience, and/or climate-driven ecological change would be highly desirable.\nThe Research Fellow will develop ambitious, frontier research questions and lead high-quality peer-reviewed publications. They will contribute to regional field campaigns, collaborative research, and capacity building, while independently developing and delivering a coherent research programme within the group.\nKey Responsibilities:\nLead research, analysis and publications on coral reef ecology, coral bleaching and carbonate budgets.\nAnalyse large regional photoquadrat, photogrammetry, benthic and environmental datasets to identify spatial patterns and temporal trends.\nDevelop frontier research questions and robust quantitative approaches.\nPlan and conduct regional scientific-diving field campaigns and build productive relationships with a diverse range of collaborators.\nProvide expert coral and benthic community identification and contribute to data quality control.\nLead manuscripts, reports, presentations and other research outputs; support junior researchers and group activities.\nJob Requirements:\nPhD in marine science, marine ecology or related discipline.\nStrong publication record for career stage in coral reef ecology or related fields.\nExpert coral and benthic community identification skills, with coral reef field and scientific-diving experience.\nAdvanced Open Water or Rescue Diver certification.\nStrong statistical and data-analysis skills, including R/Python and large ecological or environmental datasets.\nExperience with photoquadrat, photogrammetry and/or Agisoft Metashape is highly desirable.\nExcellent scientific writing, communication, collaboration and independent research skills; familiarity with Southeast Asian reef systems is advantageous.\nWe regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.\nHiring Institution: NTU","description_format":"text","description_chars":2632,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Education","Hardware","Higher Education","Lasers & Photonics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-23T11:45:57Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:5","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-09-23T20:44:07Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nanyang-technological-university-research-fellow-coral-reef-ecosystems","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nanyang-technological-university-research-fellow-coral-reef-ecosystems.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-23T20:44:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
