Company description:
The National University of Singapore is the national research university of Singapore. Founded in 1905 as the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States Government Medical School, NUS is the oldest higher education institution in Singapore.
Job description:
Duke-NUS Medical School, a US-style graduate-entry medical school in Singapore, is seeking a dynamic and accomplished Associate Professor/Professor to join its medical education research unit. This role resides within the Education Advancement Department, dedicated to maximising faculty members' educational impact and fostering an ecosystem for globally recognised work in educational research. The Department is led by a senior researcher and supported by a full-time qualitative researcher, creating a collaborative and research-focused environment.
Duke-NUS has strategically positioned itself for success in medical education research, supported by a robust infrastructure that includes an integrated data platform accessible across Departments and initiatives with national leaders to secure essential post-graduate outcomes data.

This extensive network of collaborators and resources are designed to enable this position to drive high-impact research and lay the foundation for establishing Duke-NUS as a leader in medical education research.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to attract competitive grant funding from the SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre, external foundations, and Singapore's Ministry of Education and/or Health.
