Good colleagues but very little chance for career advancement
senior research fellow (Former Employee) - West coast - September 9, 2017
A scientist's day starts with experiment performing in the lab and ends with data analysis. What I learn the most from being a scientist is perseverance which I would benefit for a long time. The hardest part of this job is that I have to give up the research due to unstable environment of research field.

My time at NUS as research fellow
Research Fellow (Current Employee) - Singapore - June 22, 2017
My time at National university of singapore as research fellow was quite good but the job security was the again not there since you are a postdoc. But that can change if you bring your own funding, which is not easy to get as well.

Fast paced and challenging research environment with daily shifting priorities.
