- Campbell Park - ACT

**The Role**
The Defence Strategic Review identified that the most critical aspect of the Australian Defence Force's (ADF) current and emerging capability is its personnel. In an increasingly competitive labour market, military recruitment and retention are central pillars underpinning the capability equation.

This position sits within a small research team engaged in ensuring the psychological assessment tools and techniques used in selecting people for the ADF are valid, reliable and fit-for-purpose. We are looking for a person with a background in psychology or the behavioural sciences, with qualifications and skills in action research, psychometrics/statistics, and data analysis.

The incumbent will take ownership of a small number of projects aimed at improving the degree of 'fit' between the person and the requirements of their preferred job role, leading to enhanced performance and satisfaction for the individual, and optimal capability for the ADF.

**About our Team**
The Directorate of Occupational Psychology is responsible for developing, evaluating and maintaining tools and techniques used by Defence psychologists to help optimise the 'fit' between Australian Defence Force (ADF) job roles and the people that fill those roles.

This work contributes to force optimisation across the ADF life-cycle, from the effective transition of civilian applicants into the ADF, through analysis and reporting of factors influencing both work-related and personal effectiveness and efficiency, and minimising adjustment issues caused by person-job mismatch.

An interest in data storytelling, a willingness to learn, and attention to detail is essential. Strong written and oral communication skills to build productive work relationships and the ability to plan, manage, and prioritise tasks to ensure timely delivery of outputs.
