Are you a dynamic and organised researcher keen to drive social change? Are you detail-oriented and driven, with impeccable time-management skills?
Are you interested in joining a diverse, global team that values its people, nurtures professional growth, and emphasises collaboration? If so, then CEI would love to hear from you!
The primary role of the Senior Research Assistant is to contribute to the conduct of mixed-methods program and system evaluation, implementation and evidence synthesis projects. While the context of these projects varies, most relate to children/youth/family services, health, education and other social services.
The role is responsible for desk-based and fieldwork research, which may include: collection of quantitative and qualitative data, data analysis, conducting literature and evidence reviews (screening, data extraction and providing summaries) and report writing. There will be other administrative and project support tasks required, such as assisting in the preparation of summaries, ethics submissions, presentations and funding proposals.
The Senior Research Assistant receives ongoing support and coaching from Advisors and Principal Advisors, to support skill development and knowledge-building across a range of research methods and activities relevant to CEI’s evaluation, implementation and evidence synthesis work.
As part of a global organisation, there may be occasions when work and meetings will be conducted outside regular business hours, and this role may involve working on projects and initiatives across CEI’s offices.
The Senior Research Assistant supports CEI’s projects in Australia and globally through undertaking a range of research and project coordination tasks, under the direction of senior staff.
Specifically, the postholder will have the following responsibilities.
