Are you interested in researching transformative work design as a way to address challenges facing the child health care system?

We are seeking a PhD candidate with a background in organisational behaviour to join our highly collaborative research program on designing future work through an in-depth evaluation of staff's work practices, well-being and productivity.

The full-time scholarship provides a salary stipend of $30,000 per annum (tax-exempt), up to a maximum of 3 years, with the possibility of a $10,000 stipend for PhD completion.

Preference will be given to those with a background in organisational psychology/organisational behaviour (or a closely related discipline), and with an interest in paediatric and/or child health care, transformative work design, and health systems research.

The successful candidate will be supervised by ARC Laureate Fellow Sharon K Parker, Director at Curtin University's Centre for Transformative Work Design and Professor Gareth Baynam, Director at the Rare Care Centre.
