3.1 UWS Human Research Ethics Committee Seeking New Member

UWS Human Research Ethics Committee Seeking New Member

The UWS Alumni Unit has extended this invitation on behalf of the Human Research Ethics Committee at UWS which is seeking a new member.

The Human Research Ethics Committee is responsible for reviewing all research carried out at the University involving human participants. The Committee is made up of community members and academics.  We are seeking another member of the community to sit on the Committee. 

To maintain the gender balance required by the National Health and Medical Research Council which oversights human research ethics in Australia, we are seeking a male to join the Committee. No particular qualifications are required, although you should not be currently engaged in medical, scientific, legal or academic work.

The Committee meets once a month on a Monday from 4.30pm, normally for 2 hours.  Papers for the meeting are distributed a week prior.

If you feel you may be able to contribute time and energy to this key governance committee, please send an expression of interest to Ms Lauren Sinclair – Human Ethics Officer at l.sinclair@uws.edu.au

If you would like to discuss this further, please contact Lauren on 02 4736 0229
