Community Needs Assessment and Evaluation Consultant

The Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health is seeking a highly skilled professional to support a multi-country study focused on community needs assessment and the evaluation of a global health intervention aimed at improving access to safe drinking water.

The initiative combines portable water filtration technology with capacity-building on water treatment and sanitation, and is implemented across hospital, rural, and school settings in Southeast Asia in collaboration with international partners.

The evaluation aims to understand community needs, perceptions, and behavioural drivers related to water insecurity and use of filtration systems, while also assessing the adoption, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, environmental impact of the intervention.

Key Responsibilities
  • Oversee the baseline community assessment and overall evaluation of the intervention, working closely with the Principal Investigator and local research teams
  • Manage field-based data collection, including surveys, interviews, focus groups, and observational assessments
  • Design and validate survey instruments and context-appropriate evaluation indicators
  • Conduct quantitative data analysis of the longitudinal survey and monitoring data
  • Draft evaluation reports, policy briefs, and technical documentation
  • Create data visualizations to communicate results to stakeholders
  • Work collaboratively with economic evaluation experts and qualitative researchers to integrate quantitative findings into a broader mixed-methods evaluation framework
  • Support capacity-building efforts for local field teams and partners in evaluation design and data collection
Qualifications
  • Master's degree in Public Health, Epidemiology, Data Science/Analytics, Psychology, or other related disciplines
  • Minimum 3 years of research experience, preferably in program evaluation, public health, or applied social science
  • Proficiency in at least one statistical software (e.g. R, Stata, SPSS, Python)
  • Expertise in quantitative analysis, with preferred skills in quasi-experimental evaluation techniques (e.g. Difference-in-difference, PSM)
  • Willingness to conduct fieldwork in rural or low-resource settings (required travel for up to 1 week, 2-3 times a year) - familiarity with Laos or Southeast Asia is a plus
  • Strong project management skills and comfortable with engaging multiple stakeholders and community partners
  • Exposure to qualitative or mixed-methods research is an advantage
Why This Opportunity Matters

This role offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in program evaluation, field-based public health research, and cross-country collaboration with international partners across Southeast Asia, along with exposure to other global health research initiatives within the school.

You'll be part of a dynamic, high-trust team at one of Asia's top public health schools. We value curiosity, equity, and collaboration, and are committed to building inclusive, evidence-based solutions for healthier, more resilient communities.
