Job Description

The National University of Singapore invites applications for a Research Fellow in the Human Potential Translational Research Programme (HPTRP), Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.  The HPTRP brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines with an interest to maximise human potential. In HPTRP, we aim to adopt a holistic perspective that considers human potential as an integrative measure of health, productivity, performance, human capital and overall well-being over the lifespan, in our environment. Appointments will be made on two-year contract, with the possibility of further extension.

Purpose of the post

The Research Fellow will join a programme of research investigating how cultural contexts and family socialisation shape children's and adolescents' social-emotional and cognitive development. Using longitudinal designs, the project examines parent–adolescent communication in Singaporean families, with a particular focus on translating empirical findings into evidence-based interventions that promote adolescent psychosocial well-being amid rapidly advancing AI technologies. The lab maintains an active collaboration with Singapore's largest prospective birth cohort study, Growing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes (GUSTO), offering access to rich, nationally relevant developmental data.

This fellowship provides substantial opportunities for new PhDs seeking significant experience, mentorship, and networking, as well as close collaboration with the Principal Investigators and considerable involvement in authorship of abstracts, presentations, and manuscripts.
