As a member of CSUN's Nature & People Interactions research team, you will be working on the following:
• Lead and contribute to innovative research examining how people experience, use, and benefit from nature in urban Singapore.

• Design and implement studies on themes such as recreational quality, mental well-being, social connectivity, and resilience-integrating geospatial and spatial-temporal analysis to assess patterns, accessibility, and environmental exposure.

• Collect, analyse, and interpret data using both traditional research methods and GIS technologies to model and map human-nature relationships.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across NParks, universities, government agencies, and industry partners to deliver impactful and policy-relevant research.

• Produce and present findings through geospatial visualisations, technical reports, publications, policy briefs, and stakeholder presentations.

• Support other research and policy initiatives in the branch or agency as required.
What we are looking for:

• Masters or PhD in a field related to Sociology, Psychology, Human Geography, Geospatial Science, Environmental Science, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Public Policy

• Experience with geospatial analysis tools (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS) and spatial statistics is advantageous but not required.

• Proven skills in research design, statistical analysis, and qualitative/quantitative methodologies.

• Experience with data visualisation and mapping for research communication.

• Proficiency with statistical and geospatial software (e.g., SPSS, R, Python for GIS).

• At least 3 years of relevant work or research experience preferred.
Preferably, candidates should possess:

• Demonstrated ability to plan, manage, and deliver research projects, including those with a strong geospatial analysis component.

• Strong analytical, writing, and public presentation skills, including the ability to translate spatial data into compelling narratives for decision-making.

• Effective interpersonal and stakeholder engagement abilities, with experience working in multi-sector or interdisciplinary teams.

• Ability to handle administrative aspects of research, including grant management, budgeting, reporting, and project timeline management to ensure deliverables are met on schedule.

• A passion for applying both social research and geospatial science to improve urban liveability, health, and community well-being.
