Unstable job with no career prospects

I held a contract position with the company and it was a role with very little job security and no assurance whatsoever from management as to my future prospects.

Great working environment

NUS staff is full of compassion and always there to help both staff and students when in need. Hardest part of the job is learn how to say no in certain situation. I have the opportunity to learn from many experienced colleagues and will definitely remember them as friends instead of colleagues.

New learning experience

Currently employed here I am assigned the project on gamma delta T cells. This is a slight switch for me in subject and hence a very good learning experience. NUS has been a top notch university and the job culture here is quite flexible. I am not tied down by definite timings and hence I can work at my own pace. A lot of my work is time bound as I need to observe things at a certain time point. As long as you manage your time effectively, one is not restricted here. For me learnong new things is very exciting and also academics is my passion.

Pros

flexible hours

Cons

none

Excellent and Challenging Work Environment

The Job is excellent and challenging, allows you to utilise your skills well. Its a helpful and conducive environment. I would highly recommend working here. The major drawback is that the research positions are not permanent and that would affect stability.

A nice place to work

Reshaping of my life vision

The 4+ years of hard study are the most valuable asset in my life and shaped my life vision completely.Everyday are new to me. My knowledge and experience are update daily either by teaching myself, or discussing with professor and senior researchers.I gradually shape my researching skills, courage to explore new knowledge, solve problems independently or collaboratively, open mind and better soft skills.
