Duke-NUS is seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to join the team of A/Prof Bibhas Chakraborty at Duke-NUS, working in collaboration with A*STAR on the Singapore National Life Course Research Database (SG-NEST) programme. SG-NEST is led by Prof Neena Modi from the Institute for Human Development and Potential (IHDP), A*STAR.
SG-NEST is a national programme aimed at creating research-ready datasets curated from extracts of real-world electronic health data, with linkage, where required, to other sources of administrative and research data. The utility of SG-NEST will be demonstrated through a series of use-cases.
The Research Fellow will be based at Duke-NUS and work under the direction of A/Prof Bibhas Chakraborty, in close collaboration with other SG-NEST study team members. The successful candidate will analyse large and complex datasets, including electronic health records; design scalable algorithmic frameworks; simulate data from in-silico versions of novel adaptive clinical trials, such as Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trials (SMART); and contribute to high-quality research publications.
This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a major national research initiative through a Duke-NUS–A*STAR collaboration, working with multidisciplinary researchers and clinicians on innovative statistical and computational approaches to health and life-course research. The position can be for up to three years, potentially extendable to five. The initial contract will be for one year, with renewal subject to satisfactory performance.
We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
