Academic career
Jaye is a medical anthropologist. Jaye completed a Bachelor of Arts, a PhD and a Postgraduate Diploma of Tertiary Teaching at the University of Otago. Jaye then joined the faculty of the University of Otago, rising to associate professor in 2012, and full professor in 2023. Since 2020, Jaye has been the Associate Dean (Postgraduate) for the Division of Health Sciences at the university. She has previously been head of the university's General Practice and Rural Health Department.
Jaye has varied research interests. She has published on the need for greater interventions in the workplace to prevent injuries for older workers. That study found that during their study period, more than a fifth of traumatic work injuries ACC claims were for workers aged 55–79 years. The researchers pointed out that as the number of people working past retirement age is predicted to double by 2036, more would be need to be done to reduce hazards.
Jaye also conducted an analysis of social media discourse related to the End of Life Choice Act 2019 on euthanasia, and investigated spirituality in a hospice setting. Another research interest is rural health and well-being, especially how the Mycoplasma bovis outbreak affected farmers.
