**What the role is**
- CLC serves as a knowledge centre for the Infrastructure and Built Environment sector under the Ministry of National Development. Our mission is to identify and address future challenges for Singapore and other cities through our foresight capability, knowledge and capability development and strategic platforms, including the World Cities Summit. Our research draws insights from our network of experts and knowledge partners and takes an evidence-based approach to inform urban planning and policy development in Singapore.
Job Scope:
CLC’s futures and cities-oriented knowledge work in the built environment focuses on the following research domains:
1. The needs of future communities - what constitutes quality of life in a dense urban setting, and how these might be impacted by future live-work-play patterns, and changing social dynamics between different communities or segments of society
2. Environmental sustainability - decarbonisation and net-zero transitions, ecological planning, resource circularity, climate change adaptation or mitigation in cities
3. Urban resilience - Urban governance and systems, urban design, districts, infrastructure planning and development
**What you will be working on**
- For the role of Deputy Director/Senior Assistant Director (Urban Futures), you will play a leading role to drive CLC’s knowledge work under the theme of Science of Cities. The science of cities is about using evidence to understand how cities work, and hence, how cities will develop in future. Science of Cities includes these key enablers:
- Foresight: Identifying emerging trends and issues to inform strategic priorities for the infrastructure & environment (I&E) sector, and to stress-test strategies against changing operating environment.
- Indices: Analysing our urban performance against liveability indices and metrics to identify signals of future needs and challenges.
You will lead teams to deliver various “Future of ” studies that incorporate horizon scanning, indices analyses and benchmarking, and translate these into implications for policy and planning. You will also guide teams to undertake cities benchmarking based on published indices, and track specific indicator cluster relevant to policy development.
You will guide teams to deliver initiatives that bridge Science of Cities knowledge and research from international and local experts with the work of government agencies. This includes developing R&D roadmaps for Singapore, curating journals and publications, Science of Cities Symposium series, and workshops and capability development programmes.
As a Deputy Director/Senior Assistant Director, you will also lead engagements with policymakers, planners, local and foreign experts, and industry practitioners to drive policy discussions and develop CLC’s research interests. You will also be involved in engagements to support and maintain CLC’s strategic partnerships with our knowledge or corporate partners; be involved in CLC’s capacity development programmes which train urban leaders from Singapore and other cities, and contribute to curating the biennial World Cities Summit and other platforms for knowledge sharing.
**What we are looking for**
- Possesses a future-oriented mindset and keen interest in the policies and plans that underpin and drive urban development in Singapore, and in other cities.
- Possesses an inquisitive mind with good adaptive and communication abilities, interpersonal skills, a sense of responsibility and drive for continuous self-development and team development.
- Experience in leading teams and coaching members, and strong experience in project management. i.e., ability to manage timelines and steer multi-stakeholder research projects to achieve set goals.
- At least 5 - 10 years of relevant experience as a policy researcher, policy maker, analyst, strategic planner or practitioner involved in one or more of the following domains, namely, Sustainable Development, ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), Economics, Energy, Environmental Management and/or Urban Planning, and/or Urban Systems Design/Engineering
- Proficiency in Planning and Development, Public Policy Analysis, Statistics, Digital Visualisation, Computation, and/or Geospatial Science software, and Research Frameworks development and Data Analytics skillsets would be advantageous.
