Chair of the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Nanyang Technological University

The School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore is seeking an accomplished and visionary leader to join us as a Full Professor and inaugural Chair of this new School.

Applicants should have a distinguished record of teaching, research and scholarship and the ability to advance the School’s academic excellence, research, and professional education. The inaugural Chair will build, lead, and manage the new CCEB school and develop new interdisciplinary collaborations. Key roles will be to attract, motivate and retain talented staff, and contribute effectively to NTU’s ambitions to provide Singapore, the region, and society globally the knowledge and technologies needed to advance economies, support national development and sustainability.

Applicants should have the drive, desire, and experience to provide academic leadership, both internally within CCEB, and externally to continue to build NTU’s reputation as a globally leading institution with international importance and recognition in the field.

Applicants must have a PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or a related field and would normally already hold a tenured Professorial position in a university or equivalent institution.

The School of CCEB has been formed by merging the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (SCBE) under the College of Engineering with the Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) under the College of Science.  This new interdisciplinary school is the first to be established jointly by the Colleges of Engineering and Science. The creation of the new School is aligned with the vision articulated in the NTU 2025 strategic plan to foster strong interdisciplinary synergies across academic units in education, research, and innovation, whilst ensuring depth and rigour in the topics within the disciplines.

The College of Engineering and the College of Science seek a diverse and inclusive workforce and are committed to equality of opportunity. Applications are welcomed from all and recruitment is based on merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, disability or marital status and family responsibilities. 

Applications should include a full CV, publication list, and a cover letter describing experience in teaching and leadership, interest in research and vision for the development of the new school.
