The ARL has full-time research engineers, scientists, sabbatical visitors, further degree students, interns, industrial attachment personnel, part-time participants and the occasional volunteer involved in its projects.

We are always interested to hear from enthusiastic engineers, scientists & acousticians looking for a challenge. You may want to check out what positions we currently have available. Even if you don't fit into one of these positions but if you think you have something special to offer and want to take up the challenge and join us, send us an email.

The ARL is a somewhat unconventional research environment for NUS, in that we do very little undergraduate teaching, being 100% research. We are success and goal oriented, rather than task and process oriented. ARL staff enjoy a high degree of autonomy and are expected to be self-motivated and self-disciplined.

We also take on Research Scholars, who do a full-time further degree with an NUS Faculty Department such as the Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics or similar Department under supervision while working on ARL projects. ARL staff research engineers and scientists can pursue Masters and PhD degrees part-time while employed by the ARL and research scholars can do full-time further degrees supported by a scholarship.

Generally, we look for enthusiastic, pragmatic and responsible signal processors, acousticians, talented engineers, physicists and oceanographers with skills in at least some of the following areas:

  • Ambient noise and acoustics

  • Random signal processing and filtering

  • Time-frequency signal processing, especially wavelets

  • Inversion, search & optimisation techniques

  • Numerical modeling and simulation

  • Beamforming and image processing

  • Mechanical or electronics engineering skills
