The National Institute of Education invites suitable applications for the position of Research Associate on a 24-month contract at the Psychology and Child & Human Development Department, with possibility of extension given good progress.

Project Title: Climate Change and Mental Health

Project Introduction: The Climate Transformation Programme (CTP) aims to develop, inspire and accelerate knowledge-based solutions and educate future leaders to establish the stable climate and environment necessary for resilient, just, and sustainable Southeast Asian societies. Climate change is a physical and environmental event with significant psychological impacts becoming more salient. Climate change events constitute a new source of stressors that individuals have to cope with, both psychologically and practically in their daily lives. Climate action as a behavior has been considered a coping strategy by many researchers. The purpose of this project is to investigate the range of climate action among students of tertiary education institutions in Singapore and determine their psychological effects. In this study, the research staff will be involved in the implementation and reporting of a series of studies, including surveys and evaluation trials.

Requirements:
  • Master degree from a reputable university in the areas of Clinical, Counseling, School, or Educational Psychology, Public Health, Social Work, or related disciplines. Applicants with a PhD degree may be considered for the position of Research Fellow.
  • At least 3-5 years of relevant research experience, including scholarly writing, data analyses, and support grant application. Experience in implementing intervention studies and large-scale surveys will be advantageous.
  • Advanced statistical skills in multivariate analyses for intervention and longitudinal dataset.
  • Excellent writing and communication skills.
  • Experience in supervision of students.
  • Scholarly pursuits and interest in research areas such as the following:
    • Psychological aspects of climate change
    • Impact of socio-political and cultural factors in climate change attitudes and behaviors
    • Theoretical conceptualizations of stress, coping, and resilience
    • Development and implementation of primary prevention programmes for promoting psychological well-being
  • Positive work attitudes - independent, efficient, and responsible.
  • Commitment to complete the contract.


Responsibilities:
  • Engage in extensive scholarly writing (literature reviews, project reports, manuscripts, conference presentations etc.).
  • Conduct a range of statistical analyses, including SEM and longitudinal analyses.
  • Independently propose and execute research agenda based on the project.
  • Organize consultations with overseas collaborators and recruit their involvement at different phases of the project.
  • Implement a range of projects, including large-scale surveys, intervention trials, and qualitative studies.
  • Manage project administrations and logistics, including data management and adherence of IRB procedures.
  • Disseminate research findings through presentations and interactions with students, researchers, and higher education authorities.
  • Engage in training relevant to the project.
  • Supervise research project team members.
  • Engage in research tasks as assigned by the PI
