Expression of Interest for Consumer Representative
Precision Medicine Group
The Precision Medicine Group’s mission is to deliver actionable biomarker strategies which improve the lives of patients with cancer.
We are located in the Flinders Medical Centre (Adelaide, South Australia) and are affiliated with the Flinders Health and Medical Institute (FHMRI), enabling the group to bring together high-performing data science researchers with world-class oncologists to combat society’s toughest health challenges.
In the Precision Medicine Group, we believe that the consumer voice is central to conducting and shaping impactful research that will change patient’s lives. To ensure a thriving research culture that actively engages with health and medical consumers and the broader community, we are proud to have a consumer advisory committee.
We have been working with three dedicated consumers for several years. We now want to add a fresh new voice to this group to increase and broaden our consumer involvement.
What is the commitment:
- Participate in grant development and review (occurring approximately 3-times per year).
- Participate in research communication, including publication drafting (occurring approximately 4-times per year).
- Consumers will be invited to lab meetings, ideally attending monthly or bi-monthly. This will be the major and unique opportunity to contribute to and influence active research projects.
- Opportunities to present co-developed research or learn data science methods will be available to interested consumers – but are not a required commitment.
This role is for 2 years, with renewal possibilities.
About you:
- Interest in providing a consumer perspective to precision medicine and data science research
- High level communication skills, both verbal and written
- Ability to provide sound, independent feedback and advice when requested
