Supportive care, end stage tumour, and end-of life management – CLOSED
CALL FOR EOI’S FOR PILLAR LEADERS
Sydney Vital is seeking 2 individuals to act as leader for Pillar 4:
“Supportive care, end stage tumours, and end-of life management”. The Pillar’s aims are deliberately broad to allow scope to explore and exploit strengths within the partner organisations. The Pillar provides base funding of $10 k p.a. (which can be further leveraged) to support activities to bring Pillar members together to develop new programs of research, both basic science and clinical, and to expand networks and collaborations. Ideally, the Pillars would have outputs that impact on the T1, T2 and T3 domains of translational research as defined by the CINSW, or the Sydney Vital Flagship Programs 1, 2, or 3 (www.sydneyvital.org.com). The Pillar leader is ideally an early to mid-career researcher who is currently developing their research portfolio.
