You will also communicate project outcomes to key decision makers.

You will be part of a team responsible for planning, implementing and managing grant calls for research proposals. You will have the opportunity to coordinate with research offices in Singapore institutions to facilitate the review of proposals and the management of funded projects. Your duties will also include preparation of pertinent statistical data, reports related to research funding within and outside the organization, reviewing existing funding schemes and making recommendations to improve the schemes to suit the current research landscape.
