Melbourne, Australia Swinburne University of Technology Full time

The Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science (CFBS) is Australasia’s leading centre for excellence in the areas of forensic mental health and forensic behavioural science research, teaching and practice development. The CFBS, in partnership with the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare, and researchers from Monash University and Southern Cross University, have received funding from Australia’s National Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS) for a project examining pathways into young people’s use of family violence, especially the influence of experiencing childhood maltreatment and trauma.

We are seeking a Research Fellow to join our innovative team to undertake research and assist the research team with the coordination and management of the research project.
The project takes a mixed-methods approach featuring a quantitative study using existing linked administrative data from Child Protection, Victoria Police, and other services to undertake the first population-based prospective longitudinal analysis of the pathways from childhood maltreatment to Adolescent Family Violence (AFV). Along with a second qualitative study featuring the co-creation of an integrated and trauma-informed explanatory framework of AFV through in-depth semi-structured interviews with young people who have engaged in these behaviours, to inform interventions to reduce these behaviours.

As the Research Fellow, you will support the team of Chief Investigators with overall project administration, set up, and delivery, as well as to conduct interviews and assist with analyses related to the qualitative study.

**About You**

- Experience in conducting qualitative and/or mixed methods research/evaluation, independently and/or under supervision.
- Experience recruiting participants for research and skills/experience conducting interviews.

- Capacity to work with sensitive topics, and with diverse cultural groups, and an awareness of security and ethical issues associated with working with sensitive data.
- Demonstrated capacity to complete writing tasks to a high standard, including reports intended for a peer-reviewed academic audience.
- The capacity to work both independently and as part of a team in a collaborative manner, with strong communication skills and organisational capacities.
- Experience in professional liaison with practitioners/service providers in the child and family community service sector is preferred.
- Experience working with at-risk youth populations (e.g., trauma affected, justice-involved, young people displaying harmful behaviours) is preferred.

**Qualifications**
- Bachelor degree honours and/or a research masters degree in psychology, social work, or related fields **(Essential)**:

- A professional masters or PhD/doctoral qualification, or working towards a professional masters or PhD/doctoral qualification, in psychology, social work, or related fields **(preferred)**
