About the position

La Trobe University has established a world leading flagship Care Economy Research Institute (CERI) to achieve a step change in research impact and profile. CERI will unite high performing researchers engaged around a significant and complex challenge to drive impact and innovation and will be the engine through which La Trobe delivers world-leading research and generates external income at a greater scale than is possible through La Trobe's existing research centres.

CERI, led by Professor Irene Blackberry as the Institute Director, will deliver a step change for La Trobe, by expanding LTU's research and teaching capability in the health and wellbeing space across La Trobe and help to strengthen partnerships with multiple health care providers, government, education and research facilities across Australia.

The position will be responsible for the supervision and mentoring of higher degree research students, early career researchers, as well as liaising and working collaboratively with researchers across the entire CERI domain network. As a critical Institute role, the position will require someone to operate independently and across multiple projects and initiatives, as well as to generate research revenue from various sources to expand research activities.This position will report to the Director of the Care Economy Research Institute, who is based at Albury-Wodonga campus and so it is preferred that this position is also based at this campus. Alternative campuses will be considered for the right candidate.

The position will involve some travel to other La Trobe University campuses to meet industry partners and with staff and CERI members.
