You will have:

- PhD degree in a biomedical science or other relevant field.
- Strong leadership, teamwork and interpersonal skills.
- Strong evidence of capacity to solve problems and think laterally.
- High motivation and desire to pursue career in cardiovascular research.
Demonstrable skill in analysis of data and high-quality scientific writing.
- Excellent planning and organizational skills, including the ability to manage a range of tasks with conflicting priorities.
- Strong track record of publications in diabetes, heart failure, cardiac developmental biology or field relevant to cardiovascular biology or disease.
- Experience in planning and performing small animal studies.

**Benefits**:
Working at the Baker Institute offers flexibility, professional development, and the opportunity to contribute to a research centre of world renown. Benefits include generous salary packaging, an employee assistance program, as well as modern offices and laboratories adjacent to the Alfred Hospital and walking distance to St Kilda Road, Chapel Street, and Fawkner Park.
