Job Description
Centre for Lifelong Learning and Individualised Cognition CLIC is a research collaboration between the University of Cambridge and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and hosted by the Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore (CARES) that aims to develop neuroscience-based interventions for lifelong flexible learning. Launched in October 2020 and funded by the National Research Foundation Singapore CLIC brings together a multidisciplinary team of psychologists neuroscientists linguists and educators who conduct innovative research in the science of learning.
The world of today is constantly evolving to keep pace with advances in technology and globalisation requiring individuals to adapt and develop new skills to ensure resilience through a culture of lifelong flexible learning. Mental flexibility is required in order to adapt to change problem-solve creatively in new situations and make the most of opportunities including emerging career opportunities. The capacity for cognitive flexibility is thus central to the modern digital age and our education system needs innovation to ensure citizens are equipped to develop these future skills. For example major global challenges including climate change renewable energy and food security will require novel and creative approaches and solutions.
CLIC researchers are developing a neuroscience-based model of flexible learning including important social contextual factors in order to inform the design of practical real-life interventions for use in schools and the workplace. This will ensure that individuals are not only prepared for future career success but also have a good quality of life and wellbeing thus supporting a flourishing society.
