In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, driven by advancements such as artificial intelligence and the increasing demand for interdisciplinary and experiential learning, the need for rigorous pedagogical research and data-informed educational improvements is more critical than ever. Enhancing the quality of teaching and supporting continuous improvement of educational programmes requires not only the commitment of educators but also dedicated support in research, analytics, and evaluation.

At the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH), ongoing efforts to strengthen pedagogical practice are supported by a range of activities, including course evaluations, educational data analytics, and educator-led research initiatives. A recent internal survey demonstrated strong engagement in such efforts, with a large proportion of faculty actively involved in or planning pedagogical research and programme evaluation. Areas of focus include digital learning strategies, the integration of technology in teaching, and the refinement of the public health education framework to meet evolving learner needs.

To sustain this momentum, it is essential to provide continued support for current and ongoing pedagogical research and educational quality assurance efforts. These include the management and analysis of teaching-related data (e.g. student feedback and grades), facilitation of pedagogical research workflows (e.g. literature reviews, ethics submissions, and grant applications), and assistance with manuscript drafting and dissemination of findings.

This request pertains to a one-to-one replacement of an existing staff member who will be leaving the School. The outgoing staff member has been instrumental in supporting these efforts, and the work is well underway across several active projects. Details of these ongoing responsibilities and initiatives are provided in a separate supporting document. Given the critical nature of this role in maintaining the continuity and progress of pedagogical improvement and programme development, there is an urgent need to fill this position without disruption.

• Perform data analytics to generate insights for enhancing pedagogical quality and educational outcomes.
• Support the various Programme Directors in initiatives related to pedagogical quality assurance and educational programme improvement.
