Opening for Research Fellow/Associate Designing and Managing Engineering Systems for Flexibility: Experiments with a Role-Playing Game for Emergency Services
Opportunity
There is an opportunity for a talented individual to join the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) at NUS as a Research Fellow/Associate. The successful candidate will join a vibrant community of systems thinker, and build upon work done at two world-class institutions: NUS and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Project
This project is concerned with the development of a role-playing game to study decision-making dynamics in the design, strategic deployment, and management of emergency services (e.g. ambulance, fire-fighting units) operating under long-term uncertainties (e.g. demographic changes, unpredictable fires or health-related incidents). The research will help understand some of the fundamental cognitive forces, challenges, and limitations at work whenever designers and decision-makers aim to design, deploy, and operate emergency services in the long term (+10 years). The platform will help evaluate experimentally novel procedures to support the design and management of such complex systems for uncertainty and flexibility by means of real options thinking. The aim is to develop and evaluate tools improving lifecycle performance by recognizing uncertainty more explicitly, and planning for flexibility and real options more systematically in early conceptual phases. The project builds upon close collaboration with the Singapore Civil Defense Force (SCDF).
Position Details
The position is available for one year starting anytime before March 2013. Salary is competitive with North American and European standards, and is commensurate with the candidate’s qualification and experience.
