North Ryde, Australia Macquarie University Full time

PRIMARY DETAIL

THE ROLE- Salary Package: $57.21 per hour (HEW 5) plus 11% employer’s superannuation- Appointment Type: Casual- Location: Macquarie University, Wallumattagal Campus (North Ryde)

The Role

This position is in the School of Psychological Sciences within the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences. This position is required to support an ARC Discovery Project. The incumbent must have high level research skills and knowledge (e.g. management of large data sets, advanced quantitative data analysis and conceptual knowledge) as well as the professional and interpersonal skills that are essential for applied research. The on-the-job training that will be part of this appointment is an opportunity to contribute to the future of resilience research in Australia.

About the Project

Emerging adulthood (ages 18-25) is a unique time when young people are facing significant changes and stressors as they transition into adulthood. The COVID-19 pandemic and its on-going effects have only added to these demands. It is important for both individuals and society to understand the factors that affect the ability of young adults to grow capacities that will help them to manage these stressors. What if these diverse stressors could be harnessed to aid the growth of capacities for resilience, specifically emotion regulatory flexibility? We will discover how this transformation takes place, the time course for these changes, and why some young adults excel at it while others struggle. In doing so, we will empower young adults to turn these stressors into catalysts for refining their emotion regulatory flexibility, setting them on a path towards positive outcomes in adulthood.

With Australia's future prosperity riding on the shoulders of its emerging adults, this research is more important than ever. During this key window, emerging adults who can enhance their flexibility in emotion regulation are in a better position to ensure positive trajectories of functioning. We will explore new frontiers in emotion regulation research, share our findings through workshops, online resources, and peer-reviewed papers, and empower the educators, organisations, and communities who shape the lives of young adults with the tools they need to guide them towards a brighter future.

About the Team

We are a thriving team of masters, PhD students, and researchers interested in human resilience. We work with many populations but have a special interest in emerging adults. We are located at Macquarie University within the School of Psychological Sciences. The team lead is A/Professor Monique Crane who has 12 years experience researching resilience in extreme and high performance workplaces.
