About the Centre for Research in Health Systems Performance (CRiHSP)
Optimizing the performance of health systems is essential to ensuring the wellbeing and longevity of populations worldwide. Singapore is particularly well placed to lead research in this field as its health system has been consistently ranked as one of the best in the world based on independent evaluation with the Global Burden of Disease data. The new Centre for Research in Health Systems Performance (CRiHSP) aims to advance research in this area within the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine of the National University of Singapore (NUS) as the leading centre for research in health systems in Asia with the following core functions:
Research: empirical and methodological research and evidence synthesis on health systems performance with a particular focus on Value Based Healthcare.
Health policy intelligence: health policy impact analysis aimed at policy makers, service providers, researchers, and the wider public.
Capacity building: formal postgraduate programme (from certificates to PhD), fellowships, mentoring, on-the-job and ad hoc training.
Contributing to improving NUHS performance: expert advice on the development, implementation, and evaluation of flagship initiatives (including Healthier SG) aimed at making step changes in NUHS performance, and programme evaluation.
The multidisciplinary team of researchers in health systems (health services and policy researchers, data scientists, social scientists, and others), and administrators working in CRiHSP will provide an exciting and dynamic place in which people of diverse backgrounds collaborate towards the common goal of achieving excellence in Health Systems Research. The team will further benefit from a significant expansion in related fields and collaborations with the Department of Family Medicine at the National University Health System (NUHS), the new Centre for Sustainable Medicine (CoSM) and the Centre for Behavioural and Implementation Sciences Interventions (BISI) at the School of Medicine and the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health.
Duties and Responsibilities
The Research Associate will have the following duties:
Contribution to the management of research activities including grant and IRB/DSRB applications, budgeting, planning and monitoring project timelines and generally support project management and coordination and liaising with internal and external stakeholders.
Conduct literature reviews, including collation and synthesis of the literature.
Support the design and interpretation of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews and focus groups and collect data.
Contribute to and lead (where appropriate) protocol, manuscript and report timely writing, editing and submission.
Present work for feedback and dissemination at workshops or conferences locally and/or internationally.
The post holder will be expected to be flexible in their role as the CRiHSP’s capacity evolves.
NUS offers highly competitive remuneration packages. The successful applicant will be offered an annual salary plus benefits commensurate with his or her qualifications, experience and expertise and may have access to travel support to disseminate research outcomes at international academic conferences.
