Director

Programme in Emerging Infectious Diseases

Duke-NUS Medical School (Duke-NUS), Singapore’s only graduate-entry

medical school was established as a landmark collaboration between two

world-ranking institutions of higher education – Duke University and

National University of Singapore. Duke-NUS provides innovative education

and impactful research to enhance the practice of medicine in Singapore and

beyond. Through its strategic partnership with Singapore Health Services

(SingHealth) which includes Singapore General Hospital, the School is able

to leverage its joint capabilities and infrastructure to develop outstanding

clinical education programmes and cutting-edge research collaborations that

translate fundamental science into better health. Duke-NUS and its partners have

created an academically-based Programme in Emerging Infectious Diseases

(EID) designed to serve as a national and international resource of excellence

in emerging infectious diseases. The mission of the Programme faculty is to

conduct high-level basic and applied research, and to train graduate students,

postdoctoral fellows and clinician-scientists in the disciplines relevant to

emerging infectious diseases. Duke-NUS and its partners provide state-of-the-

art research facilities, including a standalone ABSL3 unit.

We are seeking an individual with exceptional scientific credentials and

leadership skills to head the EID Programme. The Programme Director

will provide leadership, including engagement with the broader biomedical

community in Singapore and with Duke University; strategic hiring and

programme development; medical school and graduate education; faculty

mentoring; budgetary and space planning. The School will provide the new

Programme Director with the resources to support the highest level of research.

Interested candidates should send a CV and the names of three references to:

Chair, Search Committee on Emerging Infectious Diseases, Duke-NUS

Medical School, Singapore by email to: [email protected]

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. We anticipate to

begin interviewing candidates in early April 2020.
