Research Officer

Research Officers conduct research projects for organisations then translate the new information and knowledge into meaningful data that can be applied to relevant areas of the business (eg, administration and compliance, operations, sales). They have outstanding analytical and critical thinking skills as well as a keen eye for detail.

As a Research Officer you could be carrying out preliminary desktop research for a policy and advocacy review, co-ordinating the data management for a series of clinical health trials, reviewing and comparing data from a completed research project, or preparing a detailed report that summarises key research findings for the executive officers.
