Leadership development - Advancing women and gender equity

Description 
Women make up 75% of the healthcare workforce, yet they fail to progress their careers at the same rate as men. We hold a national NHMRC grant that aims to co-develop evidence-based intervention strategies to advance women into healthcare and academic leadership positions, working in collaboration with health services, state and federal government and Professional Colleges. This project aims to understand optimal strategies for leadership development. It will work directly with partners, to gather evidence and evaluate intervention strategies. This project focuses on systematic literature review, stakeholder engagement, qualitative interviews, survey and epidemiological data analysis, intervention codesign, implementation and evaluation. Leadership and mentoring will be provided, expertise in the field gained and research skills in evidence synthesis, quantitative and qualitative research along with implementation research. You would join a dynamic team from a range of fields across medicine, nursing, allied health, leadership, organisational change, business and management. This work bridges Australia and the UK with opportunities to work in Australia and collaborate across both countries. Scholarships and top ups are available.
