RSIS is seeking applicants for the position of Junior Researcher in the Studies in Inter-Religious Relations in Plural Societies (SRP) Programme. The SRP Programme advances scholarship and applied research on religion and inter-religious dynamics in diverse societies, with a particular emphasis on Singapore and Asia.

The candidate will also monitor regional and global trends related to religion and society and assist senior researchers in producing written outputs.

Job Requirements

Applicants should hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field of study, such as sociology, religious studies, Asian studies, comparative religion, and anthropology.

Candidates should be well-organised, self-motivated, able to work both independently and in teams, and possess excellent communication skills. Fluency in any Asian languages is an advantage.

All applicants should submit the following in your application:

  • A cover letter specifying how your qualifications match the job description
