4 weeks ago

Ballarat, Victoria, Australia University of Melbourne Full time

About the Role

We are seeking a psychologist to join our team on an impactful research initiative, the Intensive Early Childhood Education and Care Program Research Project. This project aims to evaluate an intensive early childhood education and care program for children experiencing significant family stress and hardship. Our previous research has shown that such programs can significantly improve developmental trajectories of children who participated in the intervention. We will test whether similar positive impacts can be found in multiple sites at different locations for children experiencing significant family stress.

The Chief Investigators from the Melbourne Institute are A/Professor Yi-Ping Tseng and Nichola Coombs. Our team will work closely with researchers from Parkville Institute led by A/Professor Brigid Jordan and Dr Anne Kennedy, both of whom also hold honorary positions at the University of Melbourne.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Conducting assessments of Bayley Scales, WPPSI, and Emotional Availability Scales (EAS) for study children (aged 6 months to 5 years) and writing up children's developmental assessment reports.
  • Ensuring engagement of research participants and minimizing attrition.
  • Ensuring strict adherence to ethics and research protocols and securing storage of all data collected.
  • Managing high-risk situations and critical incidents if they arise during data collection.
  • Providing data collection updates to the research team.

Requirements

We are seeking a psychologist with experience in conducting and interpreting standardized developmental assessments, along with substantial clinical experience in assessing and treating infants with psychosocial vulnerabilities and working with families with complex needs. Strong interpersonal skills and a demonstrated understanding and capability for working with diverse groups of children and families are also essential.

You will also have:

  • Tertiary qualifications in Psychology (Pearson Clinical Assessment User Level A).
  • Ability to function independently as a clinical researcher and to provide a full range of psychometric assessments.
  • Experience in Infant and/or Child Mental Health.

This position requires the incumbent to hold a current and valid Working with Children Check to ensure the University provides a safe environment for everyone. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. This role requires current valid work rights for Australia.

The Melbourne Institute is a research-only department within the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne. It is Australia's leading and longest-standing research institute in the field of economics, undertaking cutting-edge research into key issues relevant to modern economic and social policy.

We offer a range of benefits, including generous leave provisions, salary packaging, health and well-being services, and discounts on graduate courses. For more information, please check our benefits page.

We are dedicated to ensuring barrier-free and inclusive practices to recruit the most talented candidates. If you require reasonable adjustments, please contact Kim Groizard at the University of Melbourne with your name and contact details for a confidential discussion.
