The role will also contribute to a collaborative research environment through mentoring, supervision, and engagement with professional and scholarly networks.

The successful candidate will bring strong quantitative research and analytical skills, excellent communication abilities, and experience working across multidisciplinary teams. A doctoral qualification, or progress towards a doctorate, in psychology, psychometrics, (bio)statistics, public health, medical science, medicine, or a related field is preferred.
