Research and Student Opportunities

Post-doctoral opportunities in urban climatology

There are a number of research fellowship opportunities available in our faculty (http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/about/res_fellowship.htm). I am particularly interested in applicants with interest and experience in my current research fields. Candidates will have a background in physical climatology or atmospheric sciences and posses analytical and programming skills. The applicant should ideally have a strong interest in field work and be familiar with micrometeorological and data assimilation techniques. The development and completion of own research agenda, leading to scientific publications is strongly encouraged.

The successful candidate will join a small, active physical geography team which is part of a modern university located in a multicultural, exotic and safe environment. More information about NUS and the Department of Geography can be found at http://www.nus.edu.sg/ and http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/geog/.

Graduate student opportunities in urban climatology

Fully funded (through competitive research scholarships) MA and PhD opportunities exist for graduate students interested in urban climatology (e.g. measurement of energy and CO2 exchange over cities; urban heat island studies; etc.). Interested students with strong science backgrounds as well as those with prior training in atmospheric sciences, climatology or physical geography are encouraged to apply. More information about the graduate program at NUS and financial support can be found at http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/grad/gradprog_introduction.htm.
