Applicants should also desire to develop their research interest in either Singapore or/and in the wider Southeast Asian region. The appointment is for two years, with a possible extension to the third year. The successful applicants will have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers in LKYCIC and contribute to the wide ranging inter-disciplinary research that can help cities address urban challenges and improve the lives of communities.
