With more than 6,000 academic and professional staff supporting over 46,000 students, we are proud to be one of the country’s largest and most diverse employers. Our people are driven by curiosity, purpose, and a shared commitment to creating positive impact for our communities. The Human Health Research Services Platform is hosted by the Liggins Institute and provides a comprehensive range of services to support human health research across the University of Auckland, including data services, statistical support, health economics, research coordination, follow-up research coordination, digital support, and clinic space and nursing support. Job Description The Human Health Research Coordinator (HHRC) is responsible for effectively coordinating human health research studies, collaborating closely with PIs, research nurses, midwives, and other research staff. The HHRC will ensure the delivery of project objectives by coordinating all aspects of human health research activity, monitoring timelines, regulatory compliance, and reporting to the Team Lead Human Health Research Coordinator. The HHRC will also provide research support, assisting with research methods, protocols, data acquisition, report generation, participant engagement, and other tasks related to the research. This role requires availability to work between 4:00 pm and 8:00 pm, with the remaining hours arranged flexibly across the week to align with participant availability and broader project needs. This is a fulltime (37.5 hours per week), fixed term (2 years) opportunity. The salary range for this role is $68,101 - $79,300 per annum pro-rated, depending on experience and qualifications.
