The Black Dog Institute is implementing a 5-year plan to further improve and expand on being a trusted partner with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to improve Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB).

This role presents a significant opportunity for an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identified SEWB researcher to further develop their skills and leadership in a highly dynamic team environment and will supervise and mentor Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers, and build essential partnerships with key community, government, and non-government research stakeholders.
The Organisation
The Black Dog Institute (BDI) at UNSW is dedicated to understanding, preventing and treating mental disorders. The institute focuses on creating a world where mental illness is treated with the same concern, immediacy and seriousness as physical illness. Scientists work to discover the causes of illness and new treatments; and where discoveries are immediately put into practice through health services, technology, and community education.
