UNSW Medicine & Health is one of the world’s leading medical Faculties. We perform world-class research that spans from the wet lab through to policy interventions, spread across precincts in Randwick, Darlinghurst, St George & Sutherland, and South-West Sydney. To leverage this breadth, our research is clustered into several areas of research strength (called Themes) which promote collaboration between academics and clinicians to deliver real-world impact from our research. You can find out more about our research themes here.

UNSW isn’t like other places you’ve worked. Yes, we’re a large organisation with a diverse and talented community; a community doing great things. But what makes us different isn’t what we do, it’s how we do it. Together, we are driven to be thoughtful, practical, and purposeful in all we do.

Why your role matters 

The Health 25 strategy for UNSW Medicine & Health has a vision to improve health in Australia and globally, with a focus on health disparities. Our research has directly changed health policy and practice, and will continue to meaningfully improve health and wellbeing in the years to come. At the core of our research is a commitment to collaboration, excellence, community engagement and impact.

The Research Development Manager is responsible for driving the success of the Faculty’s Health 25 strategy through support of ambitious initiatives to drive funding success, promote collaboration, develop our staff, and create impact from our research. These initiatives may take the form of Faculty-wide schemes, or they may be targeted initiatives delivered through the auspices of one or more Themes. The role reports to the Research Support Manager. It has no direct reports.
