If you want a career where you can thrive, be challenged and do meaningful work, you’re in the right place.
The NSW Child Development Study (NSW-CDS) is an intergenerational record linkage study which combines routinely collected data from state and commonwealth departments (spanning health, education, justice, child protection and welfare records) for a NSW population cohort of over 90,000 children being followed from birth to adulthood. This study design facilitates novel insights into the development of mental disorders across the life-course, with consideration of intersecting mental health, justice, education, and physical health problems.

As a Research Associate/Senior Research Associate, you will be an integral part of the NSW Child Development Study team, in the School of Clinical Medicine (Discipline of Psychiatry and Mental Health). You will contribute to funded research projects on the intersection of mental illness (in childhood and adolescence) and intergenerational childhood adversity and will carry out activities to develop your research expertise and the UNSW team’s capacity in this area.
