About the Role
You will lead day‐to‐day delivery of the Hear Alert trial, advancing next‐generation cochlear implant neurophysiology. You will work hands‐on in the operating theatre and clinics, and recruit and support participants capturing complex electrophysiology that directly informs patient care. You will collaborate with engineers, clinicians and industry to build a distinctive clinician‐scientist profile in hearing research.
Responsibilities
* Lead design, coordination and governance of the Hear Alert cohort trial, ensuring rigorous ethics, regulatory and protocol compliance.
* Manage participant journey end‐to‐end, including recruitment, consent, training, support and retention across intra‐operative and home settings.
* Acquire, curate and quality‐assure complex cochlear implant electrophysiology data, integrating intra‐operative recordings with longitudinal home monitoring.
* Contribute neurophysiological expertise to protocol refinement, biomarker interpretation, publications, conference presentations and industry‐facing reports.
* Provide operational leadership, mentoring students and staff, and fostering collaboration across academic, clinical and industry partners.
Qualifications
* Hold a PhD or equivalent in audiology, neuroscience, biomedical science, biomedical engineering or a closely related clinical discipline.
* Demonstrate substantial experience conducting human clinical studies, including ethics submissions, consent processes, recruitment and longitudinal retention.
* Bring hands‐on expertise with clinical electrophysiology systems and feel comfortable working within operating theatre or procedural environments.
* Show capability managing complex clinical datasets, including database design, data integrity checks and documentation for regulatory‐grade research.
* Collaborate effectively with surgeons, clinicians, engineers, industry partners and participants across multidisciplinary, multi‐site trial environments.
* Contribute peer‐reviewed outputs and mentoring, and welcome opportunities to translate neurophysiology into clinically impactful hearing technologies.
Benefits
* 17% superannuation plus a comprehensive benefits package including salary packaging, health and well‐being programmes, discounted services and professional development opportunities.
* Supportive flexible work arrangements underpinned by a commitment to inclusion and well‐being.
* Career development opportunities, including access to tailored programmes such as Academic Women in Leadership and learning platforms.
* Progressive leave provisions to empower work‐life balance, including parental leave, gender affirmation leave and cultural leave.
* Salary packaging and access to discounted services such as Bupa health insurance and cultural and recreational benefits.
* Health and well‐being services, including an Employee Assistance Programme.
