North Ryde, Australia Macquarie University Full time

PRIMARY DETAIL

We are seeking a Mixed-Methods Researcher to be part of a team that brings together healthcare consumers, clinicians, health and medical researchers to improve children’s healthcare.

The Role- Salary range: Level A, $106,089 - $113,697 p.a. or Level B, $119,839 - $141,790 p.a. (pro rata) plus superannuation.- Fixed-term, full-time until 31 December 2026 with the possibility to extend depending on funding and performance.- Location: Macquarie University Wallumattagal Campus, North Ryde, New South Wales

About the role

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher (Level A) or Research Fellow (Level B) with excellent mixed-methods research skills to work as the Mixed-Methods Researcher within our team, across all three priority areas. An understanding of the healthcare consumer and clinician context is key to effective implementation, so in the first two years of the position the Mixed-Methods Researcher will lead a range of studies to understand this context to help shape interventions, and to learn from the implementation process in pilot and demonstration programs. Subsequent research will be undertaken to understand the barriers and facilitators to intervention adoption, with fidelity, at scale.

About You

The Mixed-Methods Researcher will work with expert advisory groups in each priority area, including consumer representatives, and when studying and implementing interventions, will work closely with participating Primary Healthcare Networks and General Practices. The Mixed-Methods Researcher will work with the project’s Implementation Scientist to develop and integrate an understanding of the implementation context. They will also work with the project’s Health Economist to ensure coverage of all relevant costs and benefits associated with program implementation. Appointment as Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Fellow will depend upon qualifications and experience.

About Us

The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is ambitiously pushing the boundaries of progressive thinking to solve some of the big issues of our time, on both a national and global scale. The Faculty forms part of MQ Health, an integrated academic health sciences enterprise which incorporates Macquarie University Hospital and primary and speciality clinics. We have active research programs and our Faculty hosts the Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI), an internationally acclaimed powerhouse researching health systems, e-health and patient safety. The Institute draws from the expertise of over 320 staff, students and visiting personnel working on over 120 different projects at any given time, publishing more than one peer-reviewed publication on average per day.

The Centre for Healthcare Resilience and Implementation Science (CHRIS), within AIHI, has a multi-stream program of research which focuses on delivering health system improvement by working with patients, healthcare providers and policy makers. We are methodologically sophisticated, multidisciplinary and draw on assembled and collaborative expertise in areas including health systems, policy, medicine, nursing, psychology, anthropology, sociology and complexity science. Our research underpins new models of care, fashions improved services for patients, builds better policy, provides an evidence base to guide what people do, and transforms the systems through which care is delivered.

About the team

The National Paediatric Research Translation Initiative (N-PARTI) is an Australia-wide group of researchers, clinicians, and consumers that aims to improve the health of Australian children. The project is led by Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite at the AIHI, and involves collaborators from Perth Children's Hospital, Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service, Sydney Children’s Hospital, and the University of New South Wales. Other collaborators, including Primary Healthcare Networks, will join during the implementation of the project.

N-PARTI addresses three priority areas, as exemplars, to improve primary care for child health: Asthma, Type 1 Diabetes, and Antibiotic overuse. N-PARTI will conduct a series of implementation research projects to increase the amount of care provided by general practitioners that is in line with best practice guidelines for these priority areas.

Central to N-PARTI is the effective implementation of interventions to increase uptake of evidence-based care guidelines.

- A PhD in a relevant discipline such as a clinical discipline, psychology or a social science- Demonstrated understanding of the Australian health system- Demonstrated ability to undertake qualitative data collection and analysis- Experience undertaking research involving consumers and/or clinicians- An understanding of the role of qualitative research in implementation science- Demonstrated track record of peer reviewed publications of qualitative research in high quality journals- Demonstrated capacity to present papers
