Are you passionate about applying your biostatistics expertise to projects that truly make a difference? The Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Biostatistician (Masters level) to join our Transgender Health Research Group — a dynamic team working to support the health, wellbeing, and belonging of trans and gender diverse young people.

Our flagship project, Trans20, is a landmark longitudinal cohort study that follows the health and wellbeing of trans and gender diverse young people accessing care at the Royal Children's Hospital Gender Service. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on impactful, community-informed research that addresses stigma and promotes positive change.

Your responsibilities include:

- Uphold the highest standards of ethical research and data confidentiality

What we need from you:

- A postgraduate degree (preferably Masters) in biostatistics, applied statistics, or a closely related field
- Strong statistical computing skills, particularly with Stata and/or R (or ability to learn quickly)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Proven ability to work both independently and as part of a team to meet project goals and deadlines
- Interest or experience in transgender health and/or lived experience as a trans or gender diverse person is highly regarded

What’s in it for you?

- Collaborative, affirming environment: Our work is developed in close consultation with community advisory groups, including trans and gender diverse young people and their families
- Flexible and supportive: We value work-life balance, with options to work from home and a supportive team culture
- Prime location: Based at MCRI in Parkville, co-located with the Royal Children’s Hospital, easily accessible by public transport
- Accessible workspaces: Offices include meeting rooms, quiet spaces, and large windows with natural light

How to apply:

- Your resume
- A cover letter addressing the selection criteria

Ensure these documents are combined into a single PDF file. We welcome individuals of diverse genders, ages, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, abilities, religions, and sexual orientations in our workplace.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to the safety of children and young people. We take a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of child abuse, exploitation and harm.
