Job title: Research Fellow, Workplace Equity & Respect (Level BRF)Company: The University of South AustraliaJob description: You will be responsible for undertaking research related activities associated with the project titled “Cultivating Systemic Safety to Prevent Workplace Sexual Harassment” funded via an ARC Linkage Project Agreement. This project sits within the Centre for Workplace Excellence, in partnership with 12 organisations who play an important role in understanding the origins of sexual harassment in the workplace in Australia, and are working to mitigate this problem. Workplace sexual harassment is a significant issue, costing our economy more than $3.5 billion each year. It disrupts business operations and slows progress in achieving gender equality at work. Traditional prevention methods include policies, training, and reporting, which focus on the behaviour itself without addressing its root causes. This misdirection of effort is a major reason why the problem persists. The project will learn more about the origins of sexual harassment in the organisational system – looking deeper into aspects like organisational culture, social dynamics, job and task characteristics, technology, and the physical work environment – and develop new evidence-based prevention strategies. You will proactively support and contribute to high quality research through advanced qualitative analysis, competitive research grant activities, as well as actively participate in research concentrations and other relevant collaborative forums, to deliver high quality research outcomes.Core ResponsibilitiesCoordinate implementation of the project, including research activities, project governance, and stakeholder relationshipsConduct advanced qualitative and semantic analysis of dataUndertake project management, ensuring key milestones are achievedPrepare research outputs for diverse audiences including grant submissions, publications, research reports and papers for presentationSupervise research staff and students as requiredEssential Skills and ExperienceA PhD qualification in a relevant discipline (e.g., Psychology, Social Sciences, Management)Demonstrated ability to locate, analyse, compile, and synthesise relevant literature and research data to produce relevant reportsDemonstrated ability to communicate research for a variety of audiences, including policy and academic communities, and active engagement in collaborative research practices both within and external to the UniversityDemonstrated advanced skills in quantitative research methods and analysis, including conducting interviews and focus groups on sensitive topics, and using NVIVO and other relevant statistical packagesProven ability to communicate effectively with people from diverse backgrounds, with demonstrated effectiveness in active engagement in partnered research and translation activitiesDemonstrated organisational and time management skills together with resourcefulness and initiative to manage multiple priorities and demandsBenefits: Getting a great job working with the best is just the start.
