Appointment may be made at a rank aligned with experience and profile. Academic Staff positions in SIT comprise both Faculty and Professional Officers. They play distinctive yet complementary roles in advancing SIT's mission in education and applied research. Faculty provide academic leadership in the design, delivery, and continual enhancement of programmes, ensuring academic rigour and industry relevance, while Professional Officers, as technical specialists, embed current and emerging industry practices and support practice-oriented delivery. Together, they strengthen SIT's applied learning environment through hands-on, real-world approaches that enhance students' industry readiness. In applied research, faculty lead translational research and innovation in collaboration with industry, bridging knowledge creation with practical application, while Professional Officers contribute deep technical expertise and industry experience to translate concepts into implementation, prototyping and deployment, thereby ensuring impactful and industry-relevant outcomes. Why join SIT SIT is Singapore's first University of Applied Learning and the University for Industry. Our students learn in authentic environments, work on real problems with external partners, and undertake substantial workplace learning through the Integrated Work Study Programme. Our approach to education is explicitly competency-based, with a focus on demonstrated capability, workplace relevance, and flexible pathways for learners. SIT's Punggol campus is a testbed for the systems around which this role is built. The campus runs on Singapore's first Multi-Energy Microgrid (MEMG), which is the largest microgrid in Singapore and the first MEMG on a university campus in Southeast Asia. The MEMG was built and operated with SP Group, integrating solar PV, thermal, and distributed energy resources into a live, sandbox-grade environment for energy transition research. The campus also houses the Energy Efficiency Technology Centre (EETC), established with the National Environment Agency, whose Energy Efficiency Training Facility is a first-of-its-kind integrated industrial systems plant in Singapore — giving staff and students a working industrial process environment for development, applied research, and hands-on training. Alongside these, the Centre for Intelligent Robotics at Punggol Digital District, together with the SIT–NVIDIA AI Centre, gives staff and students authentic cyber-physical environments in which to develop, integrate, and stress-test new technologies under realistic operating conditions. In parallel, SIT works closely with the maritime ecosystem on decarbonisation and digitalisation. Through its Future Ship and System Design Programme and partnerships with DNV's Maritime Decarbonisation & Autonomy Regional Centre of Excellence, Seatrium's Offshore & Marine Digital Learning Lab, RINA, and MPA-linked initiatives, SIT engages directly with shipowners, yards, classification societies, and regulators on zero-emission and autonomous vessels, shore charging and future-fuel bunkering, digital twins, and AI-enabled remote operations. Taken together, these platforms, the deep industry partnership network across the energy and maritime sectors and next-generation AI and robotics use cases, provide an exciting ecosystem of real assets, operators, and operational problems to which security, resilience, and safe-operation research can be applied, tested, and translated into practice. Areas of interest in OT cybersecurity This search prioritises practitioners.
