The Baby-LINC Singapore Lab (https://blogs.ntu.edu.sg/baby-linc/) is looking for a talented Research Fellow to support the leadership of a new research study funded by a Ministry of Education Social Sciences and Humanities Research (SSHR) Fellowship to A/Prof Victoria Leong on “The digital future of human learning: Social optimisation of digital media for early learning”. This project aims to develop socially-intelligent digital technology to support interactive learning in infants and young children, using dyadic-EEG techniques to monitor brain learning states during social interaction (see Leong et al, 2017 PNAS; Wass et al, 2020 TICS). The Research Fellow will join a dynamic and friendly international research team which operates in Singapore and in Cambridge (UK), although the data collection for this study will be conducted entirely in Singapore.

  • Provide strong administrative oversight to ensure timely scientific and financial reporting to the funder, compliance with data protection and ethical regulations, etc.

  • Provide pro-active and effective trouble-shooting for any problems that arise
