The opportunity:


The Diabetes Research Group and Immune Development Group at the MCRI align closely with the Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes at the Royal Children's Hospital.

Accordingly, there is a very strong clinic to bench to clinic research ethos.

Beyond MCRI, we collaborate locally with the St Vincent's Institute and Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and nationally with the Australian Type 1 Diabetes Immunotherapy Consortium.

These associations provide for a broad and rich interaction with clinical care, clinical research and discovery science research.


The purpose of this position is to create a functional interface between the clinical and research arms of type 1 diabetes (T1D) related activities within the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) and Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) campus, with the long-term aim of establishing an immunotherapy pipeline for T1D patients within the RCH.

This role will require the integration of laboratory-based discovery research with analysis of patient samples to build a holistic picture of autoimmunity in children with T1D, forming a foundation for the creation of positive clinical outcomes.

The position will ideally incorporate both laboratory and clinical work and will be supported by a part-time research assistant, research nurse and project manager.

Key challenges of the role will be to formulate a plan to build a combined clinical and discovery research program that interfaces with local and overseas investigators undertaking T1D research.

It is intended that these interactions will be used to enhance the international standing and visibility of the MCRI/RCH research campus with respect to T1D research and treatment.


Your responsibilities include:

Providing outpatient clinical care as scheduled (regular clinics in Endocrinology and Diabetes) and inpatient clinical care as rostered
Co-ordinating and managing research activities involving clinical samples collected from T1D patients
Supervising a Research Assistant, Research Nurse and Project Manager
Developing plans to expand the scope and breadth of the immunotherapy program on the MCRI/RCH campus
Contributing to and leading publications into T1D in both the discovery and clinical research landscape

About you:

Experience in Paediatric Endocrinology at a Consultant or senior/post-doctoral Fellow level
PhD pertinent to Type 1 diabetes, immunology, and stem cell biology
A record of high-quality publications, research impact and peer recognition
Technical competence with flow cytometry and human Immunology
Some experience in clinical practice, in all aspects of paediatric endocrine and diabetes care
