Dear all,
We are seeking to appoint a 3-5 year post-doctoral fellow in the Economics and Business of Health. This is an exciting opportunity to join a major interdisciplinary research group, the Australian Research Council Training Centre for Innovation in Biomedical Imaging Technology (CIBIT), a collaboration between the University of Queensland's Centre for Advanced Imaging (CAI), UQ Business School and partners in the Medical Technologies and Pharmaceutical industry. The group is funded by the Australian Research Council.
The successful applicant will join the Strategy and Entrepreneurship Discipline within the UQ Business School, but will work closely with the two organisational units described above. The UQ Business School has approximately 30 researchers who work in Health related areas, and members of the discipline employ both qualitative and quantitative research methods. They have published in top disciplinary journals, including the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, Journal of Business Venturing, Research Policy, Journal of Management Studies, Organization Science and Strategic Management Journal, but also health journals such as Nature Reviews Drug Discovery and Health Affairs.
The purpose of this national centre is to provide research training for 20 early career and postgraduate students to fill critical skills gaps in the Medical Technologies and Pharmaceutical industry. Trainees will undertake industry-driven research to overcome bottlenecks in the development and application of novel diagnostics, therapeutics and theranostics and to inform changes in regulatory policy that support industry growth. CIBIT is supported by industry partners Siemens Healthcare Pty Ltd, BGI International Pty Ltd, Inter-K Peptide Therapeutics Ltd, Clarity Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd, Minomic International Ltd, Theranostics (Australia) Pty Ltd, Brisbane Veterinary Specialist Clinic, Uniting Care Medical Imaging and Red Radiology Pty Ltd. The successful applicant will work with CAI and Business School Academics as well as Industry Partners to develop a program of applied and contract research focused on economic patterns and innovation in the imaging industry, collaborative and commercialisation processes embedded in CIBIT, and initiate and develop course material related to commercialisation and entrepreneurship training for science students and researchers. They will be expected to participate in the publication of scholarly papers, supervise and consult with students, and assist with the development of joint research projects.
Applicants should possess a PhD in the area of Health Economics, Innovation, Strategy or a related discipline. Applicants should have expertise in advanced data analytical techniques and demonstrated understanding of the imaging industry specifically or the bio-medical industry more broadly. The applicant must have the enthusiasm and drive to conduct high quality research and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision and co-operatively across multiple projects. In addition, the applicant should have excellent communication skills (academic writing in particular), and will be required to supervise and mentor junior researchers.
