The Menzies Institute for Medical Research (Menzies), part of the College of Health and Medicine, is one of Australia’s leading health and medical research institutes and is recognised worldwide for its research excellence. At Menzies we have expanded our strength in cardiovascular disease research coordinated through the newly established Cardiovascular Research Flagship. The Flagship is a result of broad stakeholder engagement including community consultation in 2022. Following our launch in late 2023, our goal is to work collaboratively with health professionals, policy makers and the community to develop, implement and evaluate interventions to improve the cardiovascular health of Tasmanians and beyond. This will be achieved through a priority-driven research agenda, focused on two themes of reducing cardiovascular risk and improving cardiovascular clinical outcomes.
The Communication & Engagement Officer for the Cardiovascular Research Flagship will be highly motivated and pro-active working with researchers, policy makers, collaborators and people with lived experience of cardiovascular disease to enhance the research translation and communications efforts of the Flagship.
