What would an organisation that advances scientific discovery and technological innovation like A*STAR look for when hiring research scientists and engineers?
Assistant CEO Prof Lim Keng Hui replied: “We hire people who have a strong foundation in science and technology such as physical sciences and engineering, data science, and design. Apart from the hard skills, the passion to make a difference in society and our environment is just as crucial.”
