The Centre for the Study of Social Inequality (CSSI) is a research centre housed within the School of Social Sciences at Nanyang Technological University. As the first research centre in Singapore devoted to the study of inequality, CSSI aims to:

• Promote multidisciplinary understanding of inequality—its forms, mechanisms of reproduction, effects on various groups in the community, and potential solutions;

• Nurture the pursuit of public social science—shaped by concerns of a broader public outside of academia, oriented to both critical analyses and creative solutions-thinking, with knowledge made accessible to members of the public.

The Centre Manager / Research Associate will support the Director (Associate Professor Teo You Yenn) and Deputy Director (Assistant Professor Shannon Ang) in all areas of CSSI’s work, which includes both research and administrative duties. Roles and responsibilities include:

Key Responsibilities:

• Engage in and facilitate the conduct of academic activities (e.g., organize workshops and conferences, prepare manuscripts/reports)

• Ensure smooth running of the Centre and its activities (e.g., maintain website and social media accounts, craft communications materials)

• Communicate with local and international collaborators

• Perform other general research and administrative duties where required (e.g., IRB protocol, data requests)

Job Requirements:

• A Master’s degree or Bachelor’s degree, preferably in the social sciences

• Some experience with administrative duties such as procurement, running events, etc.

• Some experience with maintaining social media accounts for institutional entities
