Job Details

UQ Child Health Research Centre

Established in 2015, the UQ Child Health Research Centre (UQ-CHRC) brings together some of UQ's leading researchers to tackle global challenges in child and adolescent health. With research in nutrition and growth, respiratory disease, allied health, environmental health, burns, infectious diseases, cerebral palsy, rehabilitation and child and youth mental health and more, the centre is making a difference to the health of children everywhere.

The UQ-CHRC is co-located with research centres from Children's Health Queensland and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in the recently completed Centre for Children's Health Research CCHR), a $134 million purpose-built research facility adjacent to the Queensland Children's Hospital.

Information relating to the activities of CHRC may be found at https://child-health-research.centre.uq.edu.au/ .

The Acquired Brain Injury in Children program (ABiC)

ABiC is a research program within UQ-CHRC that was established in October 2017. It is founded and directed by A/Professor Dr. Karen M. Barlow, the Dr. Paul Hopkins Chair of Paediatric Rehabilitation. It is closely linked with the Queensland Cerebral Palsy and Rehabilitation Research Centre (QCPRRC) within the Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland (UQ), and a research program for the Department of Paediatric Rehabilitation situated within Queensland Children's Hospital. It is closely linked with clinical services provided at Queensland Children's Hospital, providing research leadership to the state-wide Queensland Paediatric Rehabilitation Service (QPRS) and the Queensland Children's Motion Analysis Laboratory (QCMAL). ABiC also has links and collaborations with the UQ Centre for Clinical Research (UQCCR) and the Queensland Brain Institute. ABiC collaborates nationally and internationally in concussion research.

ABiC research focuses on improving the lives of children with acquired brain injury, especially concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). As part of its focus to provide new therapies to children with ABI, we launched the KidStim lab at UQ-CHRC in November 2018, the first facility in Australia dedicated to neuromodulation research and therapy children with Acquired Brain Injury.

The focus of this crucial role will be to project manage and co-ordinate the ABiC clinical research program, including intervention and prospective cohort studies.
