  • A fractional clinical appointment at the Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital can be negotiated as part of the recruitment process, allowing clinical linkage with Queensland's largest cancer unit and the largest haemopoietic transplant unit in Australia.

  • A track record in research supervision and contribution to mentoring/research training.
  • A strong national and international reputation, as demonstrated by collaborations, invitations to speak at national and international meetings, participation in external service, etc.
  • A track record of responsible research conduct, with high standards of ethics and scientific rigour.

Desirable:

  • A clinician researcher is preferred but we will also consider non-clinician research leaders with relevant experience.
  • Experience in conducting clinical trials.
  • Experience in contributing to research translation and impact, e.g. through commercialisation of IP and patent applications.
