Project Analyst, Singapore Membrane Consortium [NTUitive]

Nanyang Technological University – NTUitive Pte Ltd (NTUitive), Nanyang Technological University's innovation and enterprise company, hosts the Separation Technologies Applied Research and Translation (START) Centre.

START Centre, a national facility, was launched in June 2016 to develop and de-risk the commercialisation of innovative separation and filtration technologies. START bridges a critical gap in the ecosystem, between lab-scale R&D carried out in local as well as overseas research entities, and eventual market adoption, by focusing on translation, technology scale-up and piloting to accelerate the commercialisation process. START collaborates with leading local and global Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) and various industrial partners to achieve this goal.  Industry projects have been an important part of START’s portfolio, and will gain increasing importance in the coming years.

Starting October 1, 2026 (RIE 2030), START Centre will host SG MEM, Singapore Membrane Consortium, which is an industry-facing national entity with paid participation from 30 industrial members, in addition to experts from translational centres and IHLs.  SG MEM is the umbrella organization, coordinating and facilitating collaborations between industry partners, and also with translational centres and academia.

This role, which will report to the leadership of SG MEM, will be responsible for techno-commercial research and analysis, technical writing and membrane industry development. 

This will include:

• Proactively reaching out to and interacting with industry and IHL members to understand their expectations and needs.

• Finding new areas of applications related to separations and membranes.

• Developing white papers in emerging areas of relevant technologies.

• Drafting budgets for, and organizing events like symposia, workshops etc.

• Working with Operations team on ensuring timely billing for industry members.

In order to be considered for this role, the candidate must possess:

• At least a Bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, with 1-2 years of relevant experience.

• Technical communication (oral and written) skills are critical for this role, and experience in writing Technology White Papers (1-2 years) would be a big plus.

• Significant preference would also be given to candidates with an understanding of Membranes and Separation Processes, knowledge of the Technology Commercialization Process, and prior experience of Industry, Market and Technology Analysis (1-2 years).

Appointment may vary and will be commensurate with the candidate’s experience. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
