Post-Doctoral Fellowship Opportunity – QUT
QUT’s Australian Centre for Health Law Research is seeking to appoint a new Postdoctoral Research Fellow (either Level A or B) for a 3-year appointment.
The successful applicant would focus on voluntary assisted dying and end of life decision-making across a range of projects including the ARC Future Fellowship “Optimal Regulation of Voluntary Assisted Dying”.
The position is a part-time one for up to 0.8FTE over the 3 years but a lower fractional appointment and job sharing would be considered. The position is based in the Law School, but applicants may have completed a degree other than in law such as in health, bioethics or other relevant discipline.
The PDF of the position description is available here: https://bit.ly/3X6fsvn; and the webpage for the position is here: https://bit.ly/3Gj8wEs. For more information, please contact Ben White ([email protected]) and Lindy Willmott ([email protected]).
QUT’s Australian Centre for Health Law Research is offering a new PhD Scholarship. The PhD is part of an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship project which explores the regulation of voluntary assisted dying as a new and important aspect of end-of-life decision-making in Australia. The project includes comparative case studies of regulation in Canada and Belgium (where voluntary assisted dying has been lawful for longer periods). More information about the project and research team are available here: https://research.qut.edu.au/voluntary-assisted-dying-regulation/.
Although the topic area is voluntary assisted dying, no previous knowledge of this topic is required – we welcome applications from candidates who have an interest in learning more about this cutting-edge area. The project is an interdisciplinary one. Although based in the Law Faculty, applications are welcome from other disciplines including regulation, social science, bioethics and health/public policy.
