The School of Biomedical Sciences

As one of the largest teaching schools at UNSW, the School of Biomedical Sciences is uniquely placed to inspire the next generation of science and medical graduates. It plays a key role in arming future doctors, health practitioners, biomedical scientists and a broader community of health professionals, each of whom will bring a specialised and diverse skill set to the frontiers of medical science.

The school holds strong cross-faculty connections with chemistry, maths, physics and engineering; along with academic staff and key partners whose work is based in the clinical or biotech space, this creates a naturally synergistic and innovative environment.

Looking to the future, with the emergence of the (HTH) next door and a physical bridging link that will land right in the heart of the school, this will create even more opportunities to realise bench-to-bedside and bedside-to-bench biomedical research, teaching and education and patient-science interactions.

Why this role matters:

The Department of Pharmacology is growing, and we are looking to recruit someone who is excited to apply new and emerging techniques in pharmacology and beyond to address significant health issues. Our current interests include fundamental molecular pharmacology, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal & urogenital pharmacology, neuropharmacology, and ageing. More recent areas of innovation include cancer systems biology/pharmacology, enhancing fertility, physiological culture methods and patient-derived organoid models.

At Pharmacology, we are particularly excited to hear from researchers using artificial intelligence (AI) to address drug design and discovery, or with pharmacogenomics expertise or personalised medicines experience. But don’t let this limit you – apply and tell us why your area of research will make us leaders in the discipline

The Skills and Experience outlined below are a guide for this position – and you do not need to meet all these criteria to apply. If you're excited about this role and think you have what it takes, but your experience doesn't align 100%, we still want to hear from you and would encourage you to apply, a copy of the Position Description can be found on .
