The Opportunity
We are seeking a highly motivated intensive care clinician (doctor, nurse, allied health professional) with an interest in clinical intensive care research to become a key member of our productive and dynamic research team for one year.
The Australian and NZ Intensive Care - Research Centre (ANZIC-RC) is a major clinical research methods centre for intensive care research with strong links to the ANZICS Clinical Trials Group (ANZICS-CTG). The ANZIC-RC is currently coordinating numerous large phase II and phase III research projects including STATInS (atorvastatin in sepsis) and ARISE (early goal directed therapy). Furthermore the ANZIC-RC is currently establishing two large novel traumatic brain injury studies (POLAR-Prophylactic hypothermia and EPO-TBI-Erythropoietin). In addition to assisting with all aspects of the design and conduct of these and other clinical research projects, the successful candidate will be encouraged and fully supported to conduct an individual research project. This research project may be used to complete the formal project requirement of specialist training program.
The successful applicant will have completed an undergraduate medical/nursing/science/allied health degree and have experience working in the intensive care environment. You will be undertaking or have completed a relevant post-graduate qualification (refer to position description for details). It is also desirable that the successful candidate will have prior research experience or a publication record. However, as part of the ANZIC-RC commitment to clinical research training, intensive care clinicians without an established research background maybe considered for this position. These applicants will be provided with the additional supervision and training necessary to maximise this opportunity.
This is a one year rotating position which aims to provide early career clinicians with exposure to epidemiology and research practices. It is a truly unique opening which will give the successful applicant the skills and expertise necessary to conduct high quality independent clinical research. This knowledge can then be taken "back to the bedside" as the clinician progresses their clinical career.
