    Description

    About the Role

    We're hiring for a Melbourne-based role to drive, in conjunction with colleagues, research on personalising mindfulness meditation training in the modern era. The appointee will play a key role in project planning, management, and dissemination of progress and outcomes of research that explores how different modes of delivery of mindfulness instruction - such as automated, digital, teacher supported - effect mental health and wellbeing outcomes.

    This role will be appointed at either Level A or Level B, depending on the successful candidate's qualifications and experience, with distinct responsibilities outlined for each level, including contributions to CSC research.

    Key responsibilities include:

  • Actively assisting in research on the intersection of mindfulness and mental health, and on the personalisation of mindfulness meditation training, including work evaluating modifications of delivery modality and support mechanisms.
  • Publishing and presenting research findings in high-quality scientific journals and conferences.
  • Leading day-to-day management of research studies including responsibility for ethical and governance aspects, recruitment, data collection, database construction and analysis of quantitative data.
  • Who We Are Looking For
    You will be an ideal candidate if you can effectively balance collaboration with leadership, communicate adeptly with colleagues to drive progress, and demonstrate strong interpersonal skills. Your ability to build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders, coupled with excellent organisational and time management abilities, will enable you to succeed.

    You will also have:

  • A PhD (or expected completion of one prior to commencement of the position), or equivalent research higher degree, in psychology, mental health, health sciences, or a closely related discipline.
  • Experience collecting, wrangling, and analysing data in the R programming language (or experience in an analogous software platform and willingness to learn R)
  • Experience in applying advanced statistical methods (, linear mixed effects modeling, factor analysis, structural equation modelling) to behavioural (or similar) data
  • Experience with clinical trials and/or longitudinal data design, collection, and analysis.
  • For further information regarding responsibilities and requirements, please refer to the attached PD.

    Please note: Visa sponsorship is available for this position

The CSC is led by A/Prof Nicholas Van Dam and is housed within the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences (MSPS) in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences.
