 About the Australian Women and Girls’ Health Research (AWaGHR) Centre   

The AWaGHR Centre’s mission is to improve the health of women and girls across the course of their life, from pre-conception to older age. This is achieved through research and translation activities founded on three pillars of expertise: epidemiology of women and girls’ health, methodology, and knowledge translation into clinical practice and policy 

About This Opportunity

The qualitative research will explore how our better understanding of women and girl’s health can be translated into programs that improve the health of women and girls.

Key responsibilities will include the areas of Research, Supervision and Researcher Development and Service.

This role is subject to The University’s Code of Conduct .
