Royal Prince Alfred Hospital/Melanoma Institute Australia Fellowship in Melanoma Pathology

Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) and Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) are seeking applications for a one-year Fellowship commencing January 2026. The position is based at the RPAH but also involves work at MIA Poche Centre and The University of Sydney.

This Fellowship Is Suitable For Qualified Pathologists/final Year Anatomical Pathology Trainees. The Position Will Provide a Unique Opportunity For The Right Individual To

• Enhance their clinical diagnostic skills in pigmented lesion pathology and dermatopathology,
• Obtain additional experience/training in surgical/molecular pathology and research,
• Gain experience in interpretation of difficult consultation cases (>2500 annually)
• Participate in the MIA translational melanoma research program
• Enhance their knowledge of the treatment and care of melanoma patients.
  
  

MIA is a world leader in melanoma research, clinical care and education. It is an independent, non- profit organisation that is formally affiliated with the University of Sydney and the RPAH. MIA is staffed by an internationally recognised multidisciplinary team of senior clinicians and researchers. The award winning MIA translational research program is supported by research funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia and Cancer Institute New South Wales. The MIA Biospecimen Bank contains the largest number of annotated melanoma specimens worldwide. MIA is a leading site for melanoma clinical trials.

Pathology is a critical aspect of the multidisciplinary care of melanoma patients at MIA. All patients who are referred for care at MIA routinely have their pathology reviewed by MIA pathologists (over 2000 new melanoma cases each year). The tissue pathology service for MIA is provided by the Department of Tissue Pathology and Diagnostic Oncology at the RPAH, Sydney where there is a dedicated team of pathologists with special expertise in the diagnosis of pigmented lesions. In addition, the department receives a large number of consultation cases from other pathologists both nationally and internationally. These unique resources offer unparalleled opportunities to both gain clinical experience in dermatopathology and to perform translation clinical and translational research.

This position is based in the Department of Tissue Pathology and Diagnostic Oncology at the RPAH and enables the successful applicant to work within a dynamic and high volume department. The department is an academic Pathology Department in a large tertiary referral hospital and is responsible for providing a high quality diagnostic service in all areas of Anatomical Pathology including surgical pathology, molecular pathology, electron microscopy and cytopathology. It services all adult subspecialities and receives a large number of consultation cases.

The fellow will be expected to participate in the academic activities of MIA. It is envisaged that the Fellows position would involve 50% clinical pathology and 50% research. They would be invited to participate in the routine reporting of the department to gain further clinical experience, if desired, at a level commensurate with their experience/qualifications.

The Role Would Encompass The Following Core Areas

• Obtain training and education in the pathological diagnosis and reporting of melanocytic pathology, dermatopathology and other pathology
• Develop an understanding of pathology reporting standards
• Participate in the MIA research program on molecular determinants of risk, progression and treatment response in melanoma and other pathology research projects including the melanoma genome project.
