Launched by NTU in 2007, the Nanyang Assistant Professorship scheme is a premier programme open to outstanding international researchers and scholars in the fields of science, engineering, business and the humanities. Not only do recipients receive start-up research grants of up to S$1 million, they also have the chance to help lead NTU’s next wave of multidisciplinary research.
