Job Description

Research Assistant Policy Analyst – Population Health

The Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is recruiting a Research Assistant Policy Analyst. The rapid population ageing in Singapore calls for innovative solutions. We aim to assess the impact of health promotion programmes (e.g. urban care farming, cognition training, etc) on the health and health-related behaviours of participants. This project will involve recruitment, assessment, and analysis of the research data. The candidate will also be working on models in policy evaluation. This is a full-time position based in Singapore.

Duties may include but are not limited to: (1) provide programming support to a research project (2) assist with recruitment and data analyses; (3) manage large complex databases; (4) conduct literature reviews (5) contribute to the development of scientific papers and the dissemination of the study findings.

The appointed candidate should: (1) Hold at least a bachelor degree (2) be proficient in Stata or R and (3) have experience in statistics, mathematics, econometrics, computer science, quantitative social science, public health, epidemiology or related field. Experience with C++ is preferred but not required.

The ideal candidate should demonstrate the ability to query large data sets and have excellent knowledge of quantitative methods in applied health and/or social sciences. Fluency in English, as well as demonstrably good writing and analytic skills are essential. Fluency in English is required as the candidate will deal with English-speaking stakeholders, such as conducting the research and meetings. The role will suit someone who enjoys problem-solving.

The position is for one year but can potentially be extended. The grade of appointment will be accorded based on candidate's academic qualifications and years of relevant experience.

Applicants should send the following during job application:

  1. Cover note introducing themselves (no more than 500 words);
  2. A two-page Curriculum Vitae (only including relevant information), containing details of two named referees;
  3. A sample of published work and their roles in the projects, if applicable.

Interviews will be face-to-face for candidates. We are accepting applications until the position is filled.
