Requirements

Who we are looking for

We are looking for individuals who are inquisitive with a reflective mindset and an interest in collaborating with members from different cultures and disciplines. Candidates will also ideally be open to seeing things from a beginner perspective and excited by unconventional ways of learning and doing things. Strong synthesis and writing skills, and the ability to organise large volumes of text, will greatly help candidates in the role. The role may be of particular interest to those who are drawn to interdisciplinary discourse in social and economic issues, and/or have a keen interest in domains in humanities and social sciences. It may also be of interest to those with prior exposure to entrepreneurial or start-up environments, and those who want to contribute to long-term social and business impact.
