Subject: Centre for Liveable Cities (Singapore) Post-Doctoral Fellowship Programme

Dear Sir/Madam,

The Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) is a leading urban solutions think tank in Singapore, jointly set up by the Ministry of National Development and the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources of the Singapore government in 2008. Through its Research, Capability Development, Knowledge Platforms, and Advisory work, CLC hopes to provide urban leaders and practitioners with the knowledge and support needed to make cities better.

CLC is currently recruiting for our inaugural Post-Doctoral Fellowship Programme. Please find more information about the Fellowship below or at our website http://www.clc.gov.sg/AboutUs/post-doctoral-fellowship-programme.htm.

I would be grateful if you could help publicise the Fellowship to your respective students. I am confident that this is a valuable opportunity for students seeking to build their knowledge and expertise in research on cities and urban solutions. If you have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact my colleague Chong Hwee Jane (CHONG_Hwee_Jane at mnd.gov.sg<mailto:CHONG_Hwee_Jane at mnd.gov.sg>) or myself. Thank you.

Regards,

Clarice Chow (Ms)
