The Opportunity

Join a dynamic research team and contribute to innovative cancer research by focusing on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). This position involves applying advanced quantitative research methods, such as data analysis and psychometric evaluation, to improve the understanding of how cancer treatments impact patients’ quality of life. Working within a global research network, this position is responsible for overseeing data collection, analysis, interpretation and the publication of findings that will inform future cancer care.

In addition to data analysis, the role includes supporting the preparation of systematic literature reviews, ethics submissions and developing interview guides for PRO studies in collaboration with international partners. The Research Fellow will ensure high-quality research outputs by actively contributing to the research design, coordination with collaborators and sharing findings at seminars and conferences. This interdisciplinary work will help shape clinical trial designs and inform cancer care strategies.

We are seeking someone with a strong foundation in quantitative research, particularly in psychometric evaluation and PRO data analysis. A doctoral qualification in a relevant field and proficiency in analytical software such as R or Mplus are essential. The Research Fellow will also contribute to research proposal submissions and publication efforts, making this an ideal role for someone with a commitment to advancing cancer research.
