Job Description
The Lead Principal Investigator of a high-profile, joint adult education research project between NUS and Cisco Systems, is looking to hire a Research Assistant to join the research team as a Learning Technology Specialist. The goal of this project to optimize the training of professionals for Industry 4.0 and in turn raise workforce productivity by leveraging learning and business analytics. Specifically, the “final product” will be a productivity-driven, physical-digital training ecosystem that delivers heutagogical (or self-directed) learning experiences seamlessly across different settings such as individual versus social learning and formal versus informal learning, to support different types of adult learners and learning behaviours. The brain of this novel learning environment will be a recommendation system that studies longitudinal data comprising professionals’ evolving skills set, career progression, individual and business unit productivity metrics, and talent management practices, and predicts training needs when new information is supplied. Successful candidates will be affiliated to the new Cisco-NUS Accelerated Digital Economy Corporate Laboratory. The duration of the project is five years. Successful candidates will initially be hired on a two-year contract which may be subsequently renewed (subject to satisfactory performance).
