About the role

The Centre for Sustainable Medicine at the National University of Singapore is looking for a research professional to support its work on low-carbon, climate-resilient health systems across Asia and beyond. You will work across the Centre's main workstreams, including health system carbon analytics, clinical transformation, and capacity building, turning research and technical evidence into outputs that policymakers, health system leaders, clinicians, and partners can act on. This cross-cutting role sits at the meeting point of research, policy, and implementation, and suits someone with strong analytical and writing skills who can manage several workstreams at once.
