3 months ago

Singapore NTU (Nanyang Technology University- Main Office-HR) Full time
Young and research intensive, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) is ranked among the world's top universities.

The Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC) Office at NTU Singapore oversees new curricula focusing on key transferable skills and global challenges using interdisciplinary approaches to learning. The rapidly changing nature of work, compounded by the relentless speed of innovation, necessitates that our graduates constantly acquire new knowledge and competencies, and adapt to several career changes over their lifetimes. As forward-looking educators, we are in continual pursuit of providing a holistic education grounded in future-ready skills which will prepare our graduates for lifelong learning and global citizenship.

Such an education needs to transcend the traditional boundaries of disciplines to address the nexus between theoretical and practical learning; "hard skills" and "soft skills"; and core curriculum and co-curriculum. Hence, NTU launched a new curriculum structure in 2021 to address these needs, featuring a range of Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC) Courses.

The Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC) Office invites applications for a Specialist/ Senior Specialist position for a course titled 'Healthy Living and Wellbeing' at Nanyang Technological University.

This course aims to provide multi-disciplinary competence in a cross-disciplinary, collaborative learning environment, with student interaction and collaboration across schools as a key learning foundation. The main objective of this compulsory undergraduate course is to examine what constitutes living a good, healthy, and flourishing life. It provides students with the building blocks to thrive - physically and mentally - in their everyday lives. Students will gain knowledge and skills to develop a physically healthy lifestyle, enhance their awareness of prevalent mental health issues, and be equipped with resources and tools to cope with common situational challenges.
