- Full time, fixed term 4 years
- Heidelberg location with some travel required
- Join a vibrant clinical research team
- Austin Health is the major provider of tertiary health services, health professional education and research across three campuses in the north-east of Melbourne and statewide. We have a highly engaged, diverse and collaborative workforce that is unified by our goal to help people live healthy and fulfilled lives.

**About the Department**
- The Institute for Breathing and Sleep (IBAS) is an incorporated not-for-profit organisation with the mission of promoting, facilitating, and coordinating research and education in respiratory and sleep health. IBAS is located on the grounds of the Austin Hospital and enjoys a mutually supportive and beneficial relationship with Austin Health.

**About the role**
- The Research Assistant role will primarily provide support in coordinating and conducting three large externally funded research projects. The research projects are funded by the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF).
- Two of these MRFF projects aim to simplify and streamline diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea to make care for patients more accessible and affordable. The third MRFF project aims to determine if home-based models for adjusting non-invasive ventilation (NIV) therapy are non-inferior to a hospital admission-based model for improving NIV usage.
- This position is primarily located in Heidelberg; however, some of the development and evaluation of interventions will occur in various trial sites, and some travel may be required

- To be successful in this role, you'll bring with you:

- A bachelor’s degree in science from an Australian University, or recognised equivalent study
- Have strong organisational, time, and project management skills
- Well-developed analytical and communication skills
- Proven ability to work both independently and in a cooperative team
- Knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), with adherence to ICH-GCP and WHO guidelines for scientific research
- Current Australian driver’s licence

**Our benefits**
- Working at Austin Health means enjoying a strong sense of purpose, engaging in meaningful work every day. Our people also receive a variety of rewarding benefits, including:

- Greater take-home pay through generous salary packaging, for living expenses, meals, and holiday accommodation.
- A suite of wellness initiatives designed to support you, including discounted fitness memberships and special offers on health insurance, and a comprehensive wellbeing program.

- Mentoring and career development opportunities.
