The Daffodil Centre, a joint venture between Cancer Council NSW and the University of Sydney, was officially launched on 30 March 2021. Six newly created research positions are open now, giving outstanding researchers of different levels an unparalleled opportunity to join this new world-leading centre driving real-world improvements in cancer control.
Application period extended until 2 May 2021.
Accelerate your research career
Four research-focused positions are available at different levels, to lead and contribute to the world-class research programs in The Daffodil Centre. Research excellence is a key focus of the positions. The positions will involve leading or co-leading and contributing to the design, conduct, analysis and reporting of high-quality, high-impact, cancer control research with multi-disciplinary collaboration of academics, clinicians, policymakers and other stakeholders.
Our research coalesces around four ‘hubs’:
- Optimising prevention, screening and early detection of cancer
- Improving outcomes for people at high risk of cancer
- Strengthening quality of life for people with cancer
- Advancing research and modelling methods.
Running across these hubs are common themes including: reducing inequities in risk, detection and outcomes; policy translation and implementation; consumer and community engagement; and responding to urgent and emergent cancer public health issues.
The Fellows will be appointed to conduct research that aligns with one or more of the Centre’s research hubs, contributing to developing synergies across current research programs within the hub or across more than one hub.
