About This Role
The Heritage Policy and Research (HPR) Division of NHB conducts research, documentation on archaeology, tangible heritage and intangible cultural heritage, as well as assessment of heritage buildings, sites and structures. The division works closely with government planning agencies to factor in heritage considerations into the planning processes; and also works with agencies to facilitate consultations and engagement with non-government organisations and heritage interest groups. In addition, the division works on policies and initiatives to uncover Singapore’s archaeology and foster greater interest in our nation’s history.
HPR is seeking a Researcher to lead the historical documentation and development of approaches to preserving and interpreting the memory of heritage sites and nationally significant events.
The successful candidate will conduct in-depth research on Singapore's mid-20th century history, focusing on political developments and key historical figures. Based on this research, the candidate will conceptualise narratives and interpretive approaches that illuminate how the subject sites/events contributed to Singapore's nation-building history. Working with diverse stakeholders, the candidate will contribute to developing interpretive approaches that connect a wider audience meaningfully with Singapore's national history.
