It really depends:

If you're a [rising] STAR and looking to become a PI (right away), there are programs inside of A*STAR to get you going. I think right now, the salary for an 'awarded' position is ~ 7-8k/month. It won't make you rich, but it comes with some pretty good research support.

If you're just coming to be a 'regular scientist / researcher', I'd guess you'd receive an offer of ~ 5-6k from an A*STAR institute (including a modest housing allowance - as long as you don't become a PR).

What's your field?

Hi SingaporeCanuck

hi canuck thanks for your reply.

My field is actually electrochemical nonoscience. I use a number of microscopic techniques like scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) , atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy combined with electrochemistry to study the nanoscale processes at the surfaces. I m an expert in the field of video rate STM which is probably the advanced application of STM. As far as I know only 4-5 groups in the world are using this technique.


anyway are you living in sigapore or working with A.star?

thanks and best regards
junta
