The Opportunity

Monash University's internationally recognised Transfusion Research Unit (TRU) is seeking a skilled and motivated Senior Project Officer to lead the delivery of the National Transfusion Dataset (NTD) — Australia's first integrated national database of blood usage.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-impact research initiative that informs clinical practice, health policy, and patient outcomes.

• Lead the operational delivery of the NTD and its related research activities
• Manage hospital recruitment, stakeholder engagement, and project logistics
• Develop protocols, oversee data management, and contribute to publications and presentations
• Provide expert advice and strategic input to support the NTD's goals

You'll work closely with clinicians, researchers, and data providers in a collaborative and high-performing team environment.
