The Research Fellow will contribute to research on heat exposure, health impacts and climate-related risks, likely involving study design, fieldwork, physiological or environmental data collection, statistical analysis and publication of findings. Candidates are generally expected to hold a PhD in public health, environmental health, epidemiology, climate science, engineering or a related discipline, with relevant research experience. Strong analytical, writing and communication skills are important, along with the ability to work independently and collaboratively across disciplines. Experience with human-subject research, wearable sensors, environmental monitoring, programming or statistical software would be advantageous. The successful candidate should be organised, scientifically rigorous and able to contribute to grant reports, presentations and peer-reviewed publications.

Singapore is a compact, well-connected island city with opportunities in research, higher education, healthcare, technology, finance, engineering and sustainability. English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, orderly and generally fast-paced, with excellent public transport, safety and healthcare. Housing ranges from university accommodation and shared apartments to private rentals, although living costs can be high, especially for central locations. Foreign professionals usually need an Employment Pass or, for qualifying research appointments, another work pass arranged through the employer; approval depends on salary, qualifications and prevailing regulations. New arrivals should budget for rent, transport, healthcare and deposits, and check tax and employment conditions before relocating. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, making heat-health research especially relevant. Its food, coastal areas, parks and regional travel links offer a comfortable lifestyle for international staff.
