About this position
The National University of Singapore’s Coastal Protection and Flood Resilience Institute Singapore is seeking a Research Fellow to work on scalable and sustainable coastal barriers.
The research project, “Scalable and Sustainable Coastal Barriers for Wide and Deep Channels,” aims to develop an innovative deployable and modular coastal protection system for wide and deep waterways. The proposed design uses telescopic barrier units supported by a fleet of jack-up platforms, creating an adaptable solution for coastal protection while minimising permanent obstructions to navigation channels.
The Research Fellow will contribute to hydrodynamic modelling and structural analysis of the modular coastal barrier system. The role also includes site-specific engineering feasibility assessments, with particular attention to applying the proposed technology to Singapore’s coastal environment. The work combines coastal engineering, offshore engineering, structural mechanics, wave-structure interaction analysis, and computational fluid dynamics.
The fellow will join the Coastal Protection and Flood Resilience Institute Singapore at the National University of Singapore and undertake independent, publication-oriented research addressing practical coastal resilience challenges.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in Civil Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Offshore Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. Candidates should have a strong background in structural engineering, some knowledge of hydrodynamics, and experience with numerical modelling of wave-structure interactions, offshore structures, or coastal engineering systems. Proficiency in ABAQUS, OpenFOAM, ANSYS Fluent, or equivalent computational fluid dynamics software is expected, along with good analytical, programming, and data-processing skills. Applicants must demonstrate independent research ability, publication in peer-reviewed international journals, and strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
