The position will be based in the School of Psychology as a component of the Centre for Medical Psychology and Evidence-based Decision-making (CeMPED), a newly established, cross-Faculty/disciplinary University of Sydney Research Centre, currently employing over 40 staff.

CeMPED’s research strengths lie in three themes: doctor-patient communication; evidence-based, shared decision making; and Psycho-Oncology. With particular expertise in cancer care, CeMPED’s members have over 20 years of experience in this field.
We are currently seeking a Research Officer to support researchers working on studies investigating interventions to improve the supportive care and survivorship of people with cancer with the overall aim of improving the survival and quality of life for cancer survivors.
