Internships and Studentships

Internships

There are two internship opportunities under the HD₄programme. HD₄ is a new project that brings together epidemiologists, clinicians, scientists, engineers, and architects to investigate how individuals move in space and time in Singapore, their corresponding exposure to risk factors that intersect with urban environments, and how this influences their behaviour.

Research Intern – Spatial AI & GNN for Retail Valuation: We are seeking an intern that will assist in developing a foundation model for spatial asset intelligence. The model learns from floor-plan geometry, tenancy/rent data, and footfall patterns to support automated valuation of strata-titled retail units, especially where clean rental histories are unavailable. The candidate must have a background in Architectural Design or a related field (senior undergraduate or Master’s student preferred).

Research Intern – Urban Environmental Exposures & Geospatial Analytics: We are seeking students currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s (senior year) or Master’s programme in: Geography, Urban/Regional Planning, Data Science, Environmental Science/Environmental Engineering, or related fields. The intern will work within a multidisciplinary team at Cambridge CARES, contributing to a Singapore-wide environmental data infrastructure that supports health, urban planning, and policy-relevant research.

Hear from our past interns at CARES:

Charmine Tan

My diploma studies in Law and Management gave me a solid foundation in functional writing but I wanted to experience other facets of writing with impact. Overtime, I developed adeptness in identifying the channels’ respective audiences through receiving regular feedback from my supervisor…and reframing my words to suit the context.

intern in 2025, Diploma in Law and Management at Temasek Polytechnic

My testimonial

Hans Goh

It felt like I was given a front-row seat to watch the transformation of scientific research into commercialised products. Working constantly with accomplished PhDs has also piqued my interest in the field of research, which I have never previously considered.

George Fulham

From using the experimental capabilities at CARES, these results have yielded interesting new insights and allowed me to develop a clearer explanation for the activity results I have previously measured in Cambridge.

intern in 2023, PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge

My testimonial

Magnus Müller

The result of my research stay at Cambridge CARES was many new friends and valuable experiences, both personally and professionally. I am grateful to CARES for this opportunity and can’t wait to come back sometime.
