The Opportunity
Join Monash University and step into a role where your work brings life‐changing medical research into the real world.
Based at the Alfred campus within the School of Translational Medicine, this role sits at the heart of a thriving biomedical research environment, where discoveries don't stay in the lab, they translate into real outcomes for patients and communities.
As the Communications and Community Engagement Coordinator, you'll shape how these stories are told. You'll turn complex medical research into compelling narratives, design campaigns that connect people to purpose, and create opportunities for the community to actively engage in research that impacts their lives.
Working closely with researchers, clinicians and the Consumer and Research Engagement (CaRE) program, you'll help bridge the gap between science and society, ensuring research is not only groundbreaking, but understood, accessible and meaningful.
From digital storytelling and content creation to events and stakeholder engagement, this is a role where creativity meets impact.
