The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced researcher to lead a growing health services research program in health, wellness and healthcare for people living with HIV. You will lead a team of researchers, doctoral students and research assistants to understand experiences of health and sickness, design innovative health services for disease prevention and management, and contribute to the design of new technologies for health and healthcare. You will work with leading research groups in Australia and elsewhere, generating internationally competitive research and making a demonstrable difference to the health of people living with HIV and other chronic diseases.

You will combine creativity and insight with an ability to deliver high impact research and be an effective collaborator and an astute manager of stakeholder engagement. If you have an emerging capacity as a research leader and strong ability to communicate research outputs, including excellent written and presentation skills, we welcome your application.

You will need to:

    * Conduct research and produce publications and conference presentations from that research;

    * Perform various research-related administrative functions; and
    * Contribute to the overall success of the department.

You will be responsible for:

    * Leading qualitative and associated research studies within the 5-year NHMRC-funded HealthMap Partnership Project. This project will investigate, pilot and evaluate in a randomised trial an online platform for health, self-management and chronic disease prevention by people living with HIV;
    * Supervising researchers engaged in a 2.5 year project investigating the lived experience of ageing by people living with HIV and designing a pilot healthcare intervention in response to these experiences;
    * Leading analysis of social and behavioural data generated by the Melbourne HIV Cohort Study, a prospective multisite study of people living with HIV and HIV-negative gay men with repeated questionnaire, clinical and biological sampling;
    * Collaboration with software design researchers, user experience designers and software developers to design, prototype and user test innovative software for health and healthcare.

You will have:

    * A PhD in qualitative research and/or health services research;
    * Skills and experience in leading research projects to an international standard;
    * A strong track record in research publication and other research outcomes;
    * Experience supervising research students, including supervision of honours students and the co-supervision of PhD students;

    * An emerging capacity as a research leader and strong ability to communicate research outputs, including excellent written and presentation skills.
    * Excellent organisational and problem solving skills;
    * Demonstrated strong work ethic; and
    * Demonstrated capacity to work in a collegiate manner with other team members.
