The Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) was Australia’s first dedicated
paediatric research facility and continues to be one of the nation’s most highly regarded
independent medical research centres. CMRI is located in Westmead, and research at
the institute focuses on cancer and genome stability, nerve cell signalling, gene therapy,
and embryonic development. Researchers at CMRI have access to state-of-the-art

Applications are invited for a research assistant (RA) in the Cellular Cancer Therapeutics
Unit to work on a research project to develop a novel CAR-T cell immunotherapy for
cancer. The project is led by Professor Patrick Schlegel (Head of the Cellular Cancer
Therapeutics Unit). This is a fantastic opportunity for researchers to enter a productive
laboratory in a dynamic and professional organisation and to work directly with the
