Job Title: Research Assistant, School of Computing

Faculty/Department-Level Unit: Department of Computer Science

Employee Category: Research Staff

Location_ONB: Kent Ridge Campus

Posting Start Date: 17/06/2026

Job Description

The National University of Singapore invites applications for the position of Research Assistant in the Department of Computer Science, School of Computing (SoC). SoC is strongly committed to research excellence in all its dimensions: Searching for fundamental results and insights, developing novel computational solutions to a wide range of applications, building large-scale experimental systems and improving the well-being of society. We seek to play an active role both internationally and locally in the core and emerging areas of Computer Science and Information Systems.

SoC is seeking a UX/UI designer for a cybersecurity research project that is building an AI-driven, explainable Identity and Access Management (IAM) framework, delivered through a lightweight on-premise appliance (the "AI Box"). The project spans interpretable anomaly detection, an LLM-based analyst copilot, and edge deployment, and the successful candidate will own the user experience that makes these capabilities usable by practising security analysts.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and implement the analyst console and dashboards for anomaly triage, including alert queues, feature-level attribution views, and telemetry monitoring panels.

Design the conversational interface for the LLM-based analyst copilot, including citation-backed explanations, model comparison views, and what-if scenario exploration, with graceful behaviour in offline/edge settings.

Own the end-to-end product experience of the AI Box appliance: setup and onboarding flows, system status views, and an offline-first design language.

Plan and conduct usability testing with practising security analysts at the project's industry partner, and translate findings into design iterations.

Establish a consistent design system across the project and produce polished interactive demos for funder reviews and industry engagements.

Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.

Job Requirements

A Bachelor’s degree in design, human-computer interaction, computing, or a related field.

A strong portfolio demonstrating UX/UI work (required).

Proficiency in Figma or equivalent design tools, and front-end implementation skills (HTML/CSS/JavaScript with React or Vue).

Experience designing data-dense interfaces; familiarity with visual analytics libraries (D3, ECharts, Recharts) is an advantage.

Experience with enterprise, security, or developer tools, or with LLM/chat-based interfaces, is a plus.
