Position overview
ANU has an international reputation for research and education relevant to the health and well-being of the population of Australia, as well as that of the developing world.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will contribute to an NMHRC grant funded project entitled “Unlocking the social cure: Innovations in basic and translational science of the social determinants of mental health.” The project aims to investigate the mechanisms through which social factors shape mental health, with a focus on vulnerable populations, and pilot a novel community-based intervention to prevent the onset of mental illness.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will be expected to work collegially, leading by example to develop and maintain effective, productive and beneficial workplace relationships with academic and professional School and College staff, students and honorary appointees. This position will also have a mentoring role for students and will engage in collegial and productive collaborations with local, national and where possible, international colleagues.
