Research Fellow – Griffith University

Closes 31 August.

The Research Fellow will be working on a multi-year, $2.35million funded Wellcome project – Extreme Heat in Older Australians (EtHOs) project, as part of Griffith’s Climate Action Beacon. The successful applicant will make a major contribution by providing high level research assistance for the project as directed by the Chief Investigators, including collecting and analysing data, leading research papers, working across themes/working groups, and contributing to other project activities (e.g. stakeholder engagement). The EtHOs project will develop a technology-based, individualised early warning system (EWS) to protect vulnerable older people from increased heat risks. The EWS will be specific to the users’ home environment, monitoring conditions in real-time, adjusting risk based on the environment, individuals’ characteristics/physiology, and managing alerts depending on the need for, and access to, relevant cooling options. The successful applicant of this position will hold a PhD or equivalent qualifications/work experience in one or more of the relevant fields; for example – data science, bio-medical/health statistics, thermodynamics/physics, mathematics, statistical modelling, biomedical engineering.
