#  Research Associate/Fellow (Centre for Biomedical Ethics) @ National University of Singapore 

 





October 07, 2026

 

 

We are seeking a full-time (1.0 FTE) Research Fellow or Research Associate with strong skills in qualitative social science research to contribute to the Ministry of Education grant-funded project, Epistemic Cultures in the Management of Chronic Illness in Singapore, led by A/P Michael Dunn and Dr Eric Kerr.

The role is based at the Centre for Biomedical Ethics (CBmE) in the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore.

The appointment will be fixed term, for one year with the possibility of renewal up to 2 years.

The Epistemic Cultures project explores the experiences of patients living with chronic illness in Singapore, how they interpret information sources, form beliefs about their conditions, and weave management strategies into everyday life. We are particularly interested in how socially-mediated information sharing environments, ranging from clinical encounters to family relationships to patient support groups to digital platforms, shape patients’ understanding of their illnesses and how best to manage them.

The post-holder will work on the project’s empirical workstreams. This will involve a combination of methodologies including narrative interviews with patients (working closely with the Health Experiences Singapore research team in the Department of Family Medicine), surveys, and online discourse analysis. There is also the opportunity to get involved in translating empirical insights into the development and evaluation of new educational materials aimed at medical and health professional students.
