The Asian School of the Environment (ASE) at Nanyang Technological University is an interdisciplinary school that aims to be a world leader in environmental research focused on Asian environmental challenges. The ASE integrates earth and environmental life science, ecology, engineering and technology, human ecology, humanities, and the social sciences to address key issues of the environment and sustainability.

Research Assistant/Associate, Environmental Science

We are looking for a highly motivated, independent and adventurous Research Associate/Assistant to coordinate research activities in Brunei and Singapore. This role involves coordinating the instrumentation of a 65-meter tower in a pristine peat swamp forest will micrometeorological sensors to monitor water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane exchange at the ecosystem scale. We hypothesize that, given its undisturbed state and the thick peat layer, this peatland functions as a net carbon sink. Validating this hypothesis would provide novel evidence of active carbon removal from pristine peatlands in Southeast Asia.

This position offers a unique opportunity to engage in field-based research within a pristine tropical peat swamp forest. The role involves periods spent outdoors, where living and working conditions are basic. Candidates should be motivated by the challenges and rewards of field research and committed to advancing impactful environmental science.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate and participate to field trips activities related to the installation and ongoing maintenance of the micrometeorological eddy covariance tower.
• Oversee the procurement of sensors and equipment, managing inventory to ensure all supplies are ready for fieldwork.
• Collect, process, and analyze eddy covariance data using EddyPro, focusing on data quality and initial interpretation.
• Perform regular maintenance and troubleshooting of sensors and data systems to maintain data quality and continuity.
• Train field staff on equipment basics, document protocols, and prepare technical reports to support current and future research activities.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in environmental science, biology, ecology, meteorology, engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with the installation, calibration, and deployment of environmental monitoring equipment. Prior fieldwork experience, particularly in remote or tropical ecosystems is advantageous.
• Ability to work independently and proactively solve problems under challenging conditions.
• Strong organizational skills to effectively manage field activities, logistics, and team coordination.
• Proficiency in data analysis software (e.g., R, Python).

ASE seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity. We welcome applications from all and recruit on the basis of merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status, family responsibilities, or disability.
