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.
About This OpportunitySuch 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 'Science & Technology for Humanity' at Nanyang Technological University.
Course DescriptionThe course aims to inspire a long-lasting mindset of awareness, critical thinking, curiosity, and collaboration across disciplines through the lens of contemporary and near-future challenges for human communities in relation to scientific and technological innovations. Students will learn to perceive and analyze the potential benefits and costs of scientific/technological innovations and applications from different perspectives and on different scales. Students will then use these skills to identify real-life challenges and to propose solutions.
Responsibilities- Teaching and Facilitation: Conduct all teaching assignments through both face-to-face and virtual delivery, ensuring effective engagement and learning.

- Student Engagement: Foster active class discussions and ensure high levels of student participation and engagement throughout the course.
- Course Administration and Coordination: Manage administrative tasks, including course evaluation, maintaining attendance records, updating online course materials, and providing academic counselling to support student progress. When called upon to serve as a Course Coordinator, the responsibilities include leading the course and overseeing all course level administrative and policy matters to ensure the smooth running of the course. Course Coordinators are also expected to work closely and collaboratively with other instructors and relevant stakeholders.
- Assessment and Feedback: Conduct assessments, grade assignments, provide timely feedback, and address student consultations on both academic and non-academic matters.
- Resource Development: Create and maintain course materials and learning resources to support and enhance student learning experiences.
- Progress Monitoring and Reporting: Provide regular updates on course performance and student progress for reporting and strategic planning purposes.
