Dr Linda Grosser is a Research Associate in the School of Psychology within the College of Education, Behavioural and Social Sciences at Adelaide University. She serves as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Behaviour Brain Body Research Centre, where her work centres on sleep, circadian rhythms, shift work, and physiological markers of health and performance. Dr Grosser completed her PhD in Psychology at the University of South Australia in 2023, with a thesis examining the impact of night shift and sleep deprivation on cortisol levels. She also holds a Certificate in Sleep Medicine from the University of Sydney and has a background in cognitive neuroscience.
Dr Grosser has contributed to interdisciplinary research combining laboratory and field-based studies on human performance in demanding environments such as shift work and extended wakefulness. Her current research investigates the intersection of menopause with sleep, fatigue, and occupational participation, particularly for women on shift schedules, aiming to inform workplace practices and policy through co-design and research translation. She is eligible to supervise Masters and PhD students as a co-supervisor. Key publications include the 2022 scoping review “Cortisol and shiftwork” in Sleep Medicine Reviews, as well as papers in 2026 on circadian and meal timing impacts on cortisol during simulated night shifts and on fatigued teams in Sleep. Appointments include her ongoing role as Research Associate at Adelaide University since 2025. She has co-supervised higher degree research students on topics related to sleep regularity in operational environments.
Adelaide University researchers investigate how menopause and shift work interact, seeking participants to inform better workplace support across Australia.
