The SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute (“SDGHI”) is a platform for global health activities across the SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre (“AMC”). The Institute aims to address current and emerging health challenges across Asia. Working in collaboration with partners, the Institute seeks to tackle prevalent health challenges, strengthen health systems and better insulate countries from pandemics and disease threats.

The Planetary Health Initiative is SDGHI’s newest strategic initiative. Planetary health pertains to the integrated state of health of both people and the planet. It recognizes that people’s health is now greatly shaped by human-driven global environmental change, such as climate change, environmental pollution, rapid urbanisation, biodiversity loss, among others. Addressing these interlocking challenges requires concerted actions within and beyond the health sector, spanning diverse disciplines and nations.

During the Initiative’s inaugural phase, the Institute will focus on launching new educational and capacity-building activities, conducting landscape analysis of the current state of play especially at the regional level, exploring research collaborations with other planetary health-oriented groups within Singapore and beyond, and implementing policy influencing and advocacy activities – all geared towards positioning the Institute as an emerging thought leader in planetary health in Asia and beyond.

The Research Fellow will be part of the Initiative’s inaugural team and will significantly contribute to the early development of the Institute’s planetary health portfolio. The selected candidate will perform a variety of research activities which include planning, organising, and conducting research studies, including but not limited to the following:

• Independently carry out the design and execution of research projects.
• Write and review research papers, present research outcomes, conceptualise new ideas and develop plans for independent research.
• Provide support for external grant/protocol development, study design, ethics review application, and other research management activities.
• Contribute to other activities of the Planetary Health Initiative related to education, capacity building, innovation, policy advocacy, etc.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to undergraduate/medical students and research assistants.
• Perform duties related to the activities of the Planetary Health Initiative (such as advocacy, policy engagement, etc.).

Job Requirements:

• PhD in relevant fields such as public health, health systems, sustainable development, social sciences, among others, AND/OR post-graduate medical degree.
• Minimum with at least 2 years’ of relevant research experience and training. MD/MBBS graduates with a relevant Master’s degree may also be considered.
• Possess advanced knowledge of specific planetary health topics/issues of interest, as well as wide familiarity about the evolving planetary health field, including principles, frameworks, issues, emerging discourse, and policy developments
• Proficiency in research design and execution, preferably in conducting mixed-methods research(both quantitative and qualitative)
• Demonstrated capability of research independence growing progressively.
• Have strong writing and critical thinking skills, as well as good communication and presentation skills, which can be demonstrated through research publications in high impact journals, commentaries and blogs, conference presentations, and speaking engagements.
• Possess strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills which are vital for engagement with partners, collaborators, funders, and other external stakeholders.
• An emerging leader, team player, and project manager who can supervise and mentor junior colleagues; prioritize, multi-task and work collaboratively in a diverse workforce; and coordinate multiple projects and activities.
