This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in a National Health and Medical Research Council-funded world-first project investigating the trajectories of stress exposure in emergency workers. The project aims to understand why individuals respond differently to stress exposure and what are the risk and protective factors that drive their health outcomes following exposure to stress.
This project is multidisciplinary and spans across genetics, psychology and statistics. The project involves national (QUT, UQ) and international collaborators including researchers and clinicians from the USA and Germany.
