Role Title: Research Intern – Developmental Screening & Infant Mental Health
Organisation: The Kids Research Institute Australia
Internship Period: Winter (June - July)
Location: Perth Children's Hospital
The Early Neurodevelopment team at The Kids Research Institute Australia has a strong focus on equity in the development and wellbeing of children aged 5 and under and their families. The team is currently working on strengthening how we screen the development of young children, and provide supports for them and their families. We are also looking at building the capacity of families, professionals and researchers in the ways that they understand and support infant mental health. The intern will be required to support the planning of research, creation of research materials, and administration in relation to this work. This will involve scoping literature and current practice, identifying opportunities for work in this space, and creating graphics and figures to support outputs.
The Kids Research Institute Australia is based within the Perth Children’s Hospital, and is one of the largest, and most successful medical research institutes in Australia, comprising a dedicated and diverse team of around 1,000 staff, students and honoraries. We've created a bold blueprint that brings together community, researchers, practitioners, policy makers and funders, who share our vision to improve the health and wellbeing of children through excellence in research.
