This person will be working at the NUS Centre for Biomedical Ethics on the CENTRES (Clinical Ethics Network Research Ethics Support) project. CENTRES was established in 2009 and has been funded by the Ministry of Health since its founding. CENTRES is a networking and training platform to enhance capabilities of healthcare professionals and clinical ethics committees in Singapore.

These programmes are delivered fully online, hybrid (online and in-person) and fully in-person.

The main purpose of the job is for the person to provide effective administrative support to enable the CENTRES team to carry out its educational programmes and build its networks. A sliver of the administrative work will be department related.

The position is for 2 years, with the possibility of renewal if performance is satisfactory.
