Singapur, Singapore WSAudiology Full time

Driven by the passion to improve quality of people’s lives, WS Audiology continues to grow as market leader in the hearing aid industry. With our commitment to increase penetration in an underserved hearing care market, we want to accelerate our business transformation in order to reach more people, more effectively.

Overview

The traditional business model (taking natural resources, making a product, using a product, and then disposing the product) is putting a lot of pressure on our planet. A circular economy is to break the take-make-use-disposal model, and to keep the material in the usage phase for as long as possible.

WS Audiology (WSA), the leading manufacturer of hearing aids, is transitioning to a circular business model. WSA is launching a research project to facilitate this transition. The project covers five aspects: returned hearing aids analysis, cost and benefit analysis, eco-design, operation process integration, and supply chain and peer company integration.

Together with the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), we are recruiting a graduate student to study these aspects of developing a circular economy for the hearing aids while taking on a Master’s study at SUTD.

We seek motivated candidates who can exercise project and research management skills, and are ready to thrive in a dynamic, multicultural and multidisciplinary team. The successful candidate will be co-supervised by Professor Arlindo Silva at SUTD and Head of Sustainability Chaojun Li at WSA, working closely with the R&D and Operation departments in WSA. Excellent command of written English and oral presentation skills is necessary. The Master’s position is for two years, starting in January 2025.
