Description:
The National University of Singapore will hire one Postdoctoral Fellow

contact information for two referees (one of the referees should be
the main PhD supervisor)
2.      a CV
3.      two examples of previous work
Shortlisted candidates will be asked at a later time to arrange for
their referees to send letters of recommendation.
