Australian Poisons Information Centres (PICs) provide poisons information to the public, and toxicology advice to health professionals on the management of poisoned and envenomed patients. Telephone advice available 24/7 on 131126 is provided by pharmacists and scientists with specific training. Clinical Toxicologists provide specialist expertise in the medical management of human poisoning and envenoming. There are four PICs in Australia, together providing nationwide coverage. In 2021 the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) awarded an Australian Data Partnerships Grant to the four PICs, in collaboration with The University of Sydney, The University of Western Australia and NSW Ministry of Health. This presented an exciting opportunity for an experienced analytical professional with data management expertise to join the team.
What you'll be doing
In 2021 the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) awarded an Australian Data Partnerships Grant to the four PICs, in collaboration with The University of Sydney, The University of Western Australia and NSW Ministry of Health. This presents an exciting opportunity for an experienced analytical professional with data management expertise to join the ARDC project team.
The main aim of this project is to create a harmonised, national PIC database to be used by all four Australian PICs. This will facilitate poisoning research, public health initiatives, and data access by external bodies. The data manager will be responsible for liaising with the database application developers to ensure the new database meets the needs of the service and project requirements. Once the database is up and running, the data manager will be responsible for extracting data to respond to external data requests.
We offer attractive employment benefits including flexible working arrangements. The data manager will be hired through the NSW PIC, however the work site is negotiable and could be in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth or Sydney (co-located with one of the Australian PICs).
