Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow (Quantitative) - Healthy Ageing (Care/Rm)

About CARE The Centre for Ageing Research and Education (CARE) is an academic research centre at Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore. CARE conducts multidisciplinary research across medical, social, psychological, economic, and environmental perspectives. Our work spans eight themes: Population Health; Social and Psychological Aspects of Ageing; Family Caregiving; Productive Ageing; Falls Prevention; Community-Based Health and Social Care Services; Ageing and the Environment; and Health Communication. CARE works closely with government and community partners to identify research gaps and support evidence-informed implementation to improve the experience of ageing in Singapore. We are a diverse team and welcome applicants who are motivated to contribute to better health, inclusion, and quality of life for older adults and caregivers. About the project: HEART Health, Social and Retirement Transitions from Midlife to Early Older Adulthood (HEART) examines how Singaporeans change as they move from midlife into early older adulthood. Using multiple population-based cohort studies linked with health administrative data, the project will study how midlifers and early older adults interact with evolving technological and social environments. Key topics include functional limitations, chronic conditions, cognition, mental health, healthcare utilisation and costs, health behaviours, productive activities, social ties, living arrangements, and digital skills. Findings will inform health and social policy and support planning for the next generation of seniors. The role CARE is hiring a Quantitative Research Fellow to lead key research aims within HEART.
