About this position

Senior Research Fellow in Health Policy at the University of Sydney’s Sydney School of Public Health supports a nationally relevant, policy-facing research project on diabetes screening in children.

The successful candidate will work with Associate Professor Sarah Norris on an MRFF-funded national qualitative study that explores policymakers’ perspectives on the potential use of polygenic risk scores for Type 1 Diabetes screening in children. The role is positioned within Australia’s first and leading school of public health, where researchers work across health policy, health promotion, and disease prevention, with a strong emphasis on improving health outcomes through research that is ethically and socially informed.

This is a research-focused academic position with responsibilities spanning the full qualitative research cycle. The fellow will help design and deliver the study, undertake ethics applications, engage with stakeholders, collect and analyse data, interpret findings, and communicate results through publications, reports, presentations, and knowledge translation activities. The work also includes building and sustaining relationships with policymakers, researchers, and key stakeholders to support collaboration and policy impact, as well as contributing to grant applications and broader externally funded research projects.

The appointment sits in a collaborative academic environment with opportunities to contribute to mentorship and the development of junior researchers while maintaining a strong scholarly profile. The project is explicitly aimed at generating evidence that can inform public health policy and practice, particularly around emerging approaches to diabetes screening and the translation of research into decision-making.
