The Research Associate will support clinical trials related to healthy longevity at the National University of Singapore. Responsibilities may include participant recruitment and screening, study coordination, clinical assessments, data collection, documentation, sample handling, literature reviews, and preparation of reports or presentations. Candidates are generally expected to hold a relevant degree in biomedical science, life sciences, nursing, public health, medicine, or a related discipline. Experience with human-subject research, clinical-trial procedures, research databases, statistical analysis, or Good Clinical Practice is advantageous. The role requires strong attention to detail, ethical awareness, communication skills, confidentiality, and the ability to work independently while coordinating effectively with investigators, healthcare professionals, and study participants.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship comprehensive university and one of Asia’s leading institutions for education and research. It offers programmes across disciplines including medicine, life sciences, engineering, business, computing, social sciences, and the humanities. NUS is internationally recognised for research addressing major global challenges, including ageing, healthcare, sustainability, technology, and urban development. Its clinical and translational research is supported by partnerships with hospitals, government agencies, research institutes, and industry. Employees typically work in a multicultural, highly educated environment with access to modern laboratories, academic networks, professional development, and collaborative projects. NUS is also connected to Singapore’s wider biomedical and innovation ecosystem, making it a strong workplace for researchers interested in clinical studies, population health, and healthy longevity.
Singapore is a compact, safe, and highly connected island with strong opportunities in biomedical research, healthcare, universities, technology, finance, and advanced manufacturing. English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, efficient, and generally respectful, with excellent public transport, reliable services, diverse food, and convenient access to parks, beaches, and regional travel. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, although public transport makes commuting from areas such as Queenstown, Clementi, Buona Vista, or the East Coast practical. International researchers usually need an employment pass or related work authorisation arranged by the employer; dependants may qualify for associated passes. New arrivals should budget for rent, healthcare, deposits, and daily expenses, and confirm tax, insurance, and pass requirements before relocating. Singapore’s year-round tropical climate is hot and humid, with heavier rain during monsoon periods.
