Research Fellow (Environmental Exposure and Field Measurement) Full-time

Centre For Climate Change And Environmental Health

In this rapidly changing world, the Centre for Climate Change and Environmental Health (CCEH) is advancing research on how climate change, air pollution, and extreme environmental conditions affect human health. By bringing together expertise across environmental science, exposure assessment, epidemiology, and public health, CCEH develops evidence-based solutions to support healthier and more climate-resilient communities in Singapore and across Asia.

Within CCEH, the Environmental Health team, led by Prof. Steve Yim, investigates the interactions between climate, air quality, and human health using integrated measurement, modelling, and statistical approaches. The team works across multiple spatial scales to understand how environmental exposures affect human health and to generate scientific evidence for public health policy and workforce protection strategies.

Key Responsibilities

• To plan, coordinate, and implement field measurement and exposure assessment activities.
• To conduct environmental monitoring in real-world settings, including measurements related to heat exposure, air pollution, and associated environmental conditions.
• To prepare, calibrate, deploy, and maintain field instruments, sensors, and wearable monitoring devices, while ensuring quality assurance and quality control.
• To support participant-based research activities and coordinate implementation across collaborating institutions and study sites, including communication with partners and tracking project progress and deliverables.
• To organize, manage, analyze, and report environmental and physiological data, and contribute to project documentation, scientific publications, and other research outputs.

Job Requirements

• Have a Ph.D. degree in environmental health, exposure science, atmospheric science, public health, occupational hygiene, environmental science, or an equivalent related field.
• Have experience in field-based environmental monitoring, exposure assessment, or environmental health research.
• Have hands-on experience with environmental monitoring instruments, sensors, wearable devices, or related equipment.
• Have experience in data processing, quality assurance and quality control, and statistical analysis using R or similar tools.
• Have good communication, organizational, and teamwork skills, with the ability to work independently and across collaborating institutions.
• Candidates with experience in research coordination, project reporting, or relevant recent publications will have an advantage.
