**Workplace:** hybrid

## Description

At MDDI, we envision a government where key decisions about policies and how we communicate are informed by insights on how our citizens think about the issues at stake.

We call this Sentiments and Behavioural Research (SBR) - quantitative, qualitative, and behavioural insights research that seek to understand how people think about an issue and how they might respond to a policy. This understanding helps to shape the policies we make, and how we communicate. Ultimately, it impacts Singaporeans’ day-to-day lives. Find out more about SBR at [https://www.mddi.gov.sg/what-we-do/research/sentiment-and-behavioural-research/](https://www.mddi.gov.sg/what-we-do/research/sentiment-and-behavioural-research/).

You will be part of a high-performing team that undertakes in-depth research work that is aimed at helping the ministry gain a better understanding of public sentiments across key clusters of Government. The team’s role is to leverage evidence-based approaches to advise stakeholders on key policy, programme and communication interventions.
