This role provides an exciting opportunity for an outstanding Senior Lecturer or Associate Professor to lead and coordinate research activity within the RCS and further develop programs of rural health research that meet the objectives of the Rural Health Multidisciplinary Training Program. These include strategies for effective rural medical education and training, improving the recruitment, retention and skills of the rural health workforce, investigating health issues that affect rural and remote communities, developing innovative models of service delivery and improving the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
