Senior / Research Fellow, Office for Service Transformation

Join SingHealth’s Impact Assessment Unit (IAU) in our Office for Service Transformation and be part of a team shaping how healthcare innovation is evaluated across Singapore’s largest public healthcare cluster. Positioned at the intersection of research and health services, the IAU offers a unique opportunity to influence decisions that improve outcomes for patients, support clinical teams, and strengthen the broader healthcare system.

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Research Fellow / Research Fellow to lead the evaluation of healthcare innovations and deliver rigorous impact assessments that inform strategic decision-making.
