This will include a collaborative relationship with the Youth2000 study and other various projects to address youth mental health. Active participation in related scientific and community programmes will be encouraged.

This part-time role is on a three-year fixed-term contract, around 16-32 hours per week. The salary range for this role is $94,000 - $113,463 per annum depending on experience and qualifications.
