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).</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Contribute to the research team in the following areas:</p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>security, privacy and confidentiality of research data</li>\n<li>development of surveys and other instruments for research purposes </li>\n<li>data collection (through surveys, focus group discussions, interviews, Cisco’s proprietary platform for teamwork, NUS’s learning management system, etc.), including documentation of collected data</li>\n<li>construction and maintenance of datasets, analysis of data, modelling, and reporting</li>\n<li>prototyping and testing</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Qualifications</b></p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in STEM or related discipline (with preference for Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, or Learning Technologies).</li>\n<li>Experience in learning technology prototyping, system integration and interoperability.</li>\n<li>Proficient in Javascript, PHP and SQL.</li>\n<li>The following will be advantageous:</li>\n<li>Experience in building and maintaining datasets.</li>\n<li>Knowledge of statistical methods and data mining techniques as well as proficiency in a language suitable for advanced data analytics such as Python or R.</li>\n<li>Excellent technical writing and presentation skills.</li>\n<li>Analytical, resourceful and a team-player.</li>\n<li>High levels of integrity for responsible conduct of research and stewardship of data.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>More Information</b></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Location:</strong> Kent Ridge Campus\n<strong>Organization:</strong> Engineering\n<strong>Department : </strong>Biomedical Engineering\n<strong>Employee Referral Eligible:</strong> No\n<strong>Job requisition ID :</strong> 7844</p>\n\n\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Singapore","location1":"아시아","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://careers.nus.edu.sg/NUS/job/Kent-Ridge-Research-Assistant-%28Learning-Technology-Specialist%29-Kent/5638644/","fileUrl1":null,"fileUrl2":null,"fileUrl3":null,"fileUrl4":null,"fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Permanent","salary":null,"original_id":"UNI|279082","original_domain":"timeshighereducation.com","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/279082","original_isPremium":null,"closeType":1,"closedAt":"2022-02-24T00:00:00.000Z","requireEducation":10,"managerTel":null,"managerFax":null,"managerEmail":null,"managerName":"NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE","managerPhone":null,"managerAddress":"Singapore","log_hit":8,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"del_yn":"N","createdAt":"2022-01-26T18:59:50.000Z","updatedAt":"2022-01-26T18:59:50.000Z"},"organization":{"organizationId":483,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"National University of Singapore","name_en":"National University of Singapore","name_alt":",","introduction":"<p>As Singapore’s flagship university and among Asia’s best, the <a href=\"http://www.nus.edu.sg/\">National University of Singapore (NUS)</a> offers a global approach to education, research and entrepreneurship, with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise.</p><p> </p><p>Our 17 faculties across three campuses in Singapore – Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah and Outram – provide a rigorous broad-based curriculum underscored by cross-faculty enrichment.
