The School of Psychology is one of six schools in the Faculty of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Wollongong. Our Faculty brings people and places to life from our desire to think, examine, express and create, to act collectively for positive social change. That is our purpose - to provide the foundation and inspiration for living and to work towards a better life for everyone, particularly those who are most vulnerable in society.

The role of the Research Officer is to assist in the day-to-day conduct of a clinical trial called the Tina trial which looks at a new medication for methamphetamine ‘ice’ use. The incumbent will be required to recruit and interview potential trial participants, screening them for suitability to enter the clinical trial, and if suitable enrol them in the trial. The person will be responsible for collecting data from participants at scheduled appointments as described in the trial protocol throughout the study period.

This is a multi-site clinical trial, and the incumbent will work as part of a multidisciplinary team of researchers and clinicians, working between the University of Wollongong campus and the Illawarra Drug and Alcohol Service (iDAS). Travel in the field is required and some work duties will involve undertaking assessments with trial participants in the field and in collaborating services.
