  • Emerging issues in clinical and research ethics, such as precision medicine (including genetic testing, genomics, digital health) and AI.
  • The role, effectiveness, and consistency of decision-making by clinical ethics committees and institutional review boards
  • Assessing the moral distress experienced by members of clinical ethics committees as they deliberate upon complex life and death care decisions such as withholding and withdrawing treatment that could shorten a patient's life

This project entails collaboration with local partners (healthcare institutions, healthcare professionals, academic colleagues, policymakers) and other key Asian partners as it develops.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

The primary responsibilities of the candidate are:

  1. Conduct literature reviews, including collation and synthesis of the literature
  2. Work with the PI to identify and analyse appropriate topics for analysis
  3. Design, conduct and analyse qualitative data from interviews and focus groups
  4. Support the design and interpretation of quantitative survey data
  5. Assist with applying for ethics approval and preparing regular reports to the Institutional Review Board and funding agencies, as required.
  6. Contribute to and lead (where appropriate) conceptual research, manuscript development, writing, editing and publication submission.
  7. Present work for feedback and dissemination at workshops or conferences locally and/or internationally
Qualifications
