The Part-time Lecturer in History is expected to teach assigned history courses, prepare lectures and learning materials, conduct tutorials, assess student work, and provide appropriate academic guidance. Candidates would normally hold a relevant postgraduate qualification, preferably a master’s degree or PhD in history, the humanities, or a closely related discipline. Relevant university teaching experience, strong subject knowledge, clear communication skills, and the ability to engage students are important. Applicants should be comfortable using digital teaching platforms, meeting academic deadlines, and working collaboratively with faculty and administrative teams. Experience teaching Asian, global, Singaporean, or modern history may be especially relevant, depending on the course requirements.

Singapore offers strong opportunities in education, research, technology, finance, healthcare, logistics, tourism, and public services. Its culture is multicultural, with Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international influences reflected in food, festivals, languages, and everyday life. The city-state is clean, safe, highly connected, and easy to navigate by MRT and bus. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, although public transport makes commuting from areas such as Jurong, Tampines, or Woodlands practical. Singapore has a warm, humid climate throughout the year and an active food, arts, and outdoor scene. Foreign lecturers generally need an appropriate work pass, commonly an Employment Pass or another pass arranged by the institution; short-term teaching arrangements may have different rules. Secure a formal offer before relocating, check pass eligibility, budget for rent and healthcare, and verify tax obligations.
