Centre Head – Colonial Foundation Diagnostics Centre

3 months ago

Parkville, Australia The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research Full time

Job Description

Employment Opportunity: Centre Head – Colonial Foundation Diagnostics Centre

Colonial Foundation Diagnostics Centre  

An excellent opportunity is available for a Centre Head to lead the Colonial Foundation Diagnostics Centre at Australia’s pre-eminent biomedical research institute. 

 

About the position 

The Colonial Foundation Diagnostics Centre (the Centre) has a vision to revolutionise health outcomes by developing new kinds of diagnostic pathology tests, leveraging spatial -omics and multi-omics, to monitor inflammatory diseases and conditions of ageing.  

 

A joint initiative of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) and the Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH), the Centre benefits from transformative multi-year support from the Colonial Foundation. It builds on the success of the Colonial Foundation Healthy Ageing Centre (CFHAC; 2019-2024), which established a clinical platform for proteomics-led diagnostics. The Centre will bring together leading researchers and clinicians to transform pathology into a 21st century science, bringing advanced discovery tools out of the research space and into the clinic to drive new opportunities to improve patient care.  

 

The Centre will build on significant investment in spatial transcriptomics and proteomics technology at WEHI and RMH, and will leverage internationally leading technological capabilities in genomics, proteomics, imaging and computational biology, including AI/ML. It will benefit from access to outstanding archival tissue and disease cohorts through RMH. With the recently launched Snow Centre for Immune Health, the Centre forms a key element of WEHI and RMH’s strategic focus on translating research on immune and inflammatory disorders into improvements in patient care. The Centre will reside in the internationally esteemed Melbourne Biomedical Precinct (Parkville), benefiting from the century-long relationship between WEHI and the RMH and the rich milieu of collaborating research, clinical and industry organisations.  

 

WEHI is seeking an experienced, thoughtful and highly collaborative Centre Head to lead the Centre. Building on extensive expertise in the application of spatial -omics or other -omic technologies, the Centre Head will be responsible for the establishment of the Centre and for providing strategic, financial and operational leadership and overarching research direction, including close engagement with the Centre’s Governance Committee and Research Translation Advisory Committee and with colleagues and leadership across WEHI and the RMH. Fundamental researchers and clinicians are both encouraged to apply; there is the opportunity for the successful applicant to conduct clinical work at the RMH alongside leadership of the Centre. 

 

Selection Criteria 

Specialist expertise and qualifications 

  • PhD or MD-PhD qualification in an aspect of biomedical or clinical research.   

  • Deep expertise and a scientific track record of international standing in at least one of spatial biology, clinical diagnostic pathology, proteomics and/or computational biology, or in an allied field.

  • (desirable) Experience of development and commercialisation of diagnostic tests or therapies.

  • (desirable) Clinical or scientific skills in inflammation and/or diseases of ageing.

 

Personal qualities 

  • Leadership - clearly and convincingly articulates a vision; creates a sense of trust and value; builds team culture and alignment; effectively engages with leadership across organisations.

  • Cognitive skills - perceptive, intelligent, and quick to understand more conceptually demanding ideas; reasons through problems to introduce improved and innovative ways of doing things.

  • Persuasion and negotiation – Track record of influencing, negotiation and conflict resolution; assimilates information from others to identify others’ needs; identifies and assesses a range of possible options.

  • Communication – highly effective interpersonal, communication and listening skills with an open, diplomatic and collegial approach, and the ability to create and foster collaborative relationships with internal stakeholders and external organisations; highly developed written communication skills. 

 

Knowledge and skills 

  • Strategic thinking – ability to build effective long-range strategic plans, with equal enthusiasm to drive the day-to-day execution to achieve strategic goals.

  • Team building – proven ability to build a highly effective and collaborative team and to develop the talent of others; acts as a role model to inspire and motivate others; seeks ways to improve their own contribution and increase the level of responsibility of themselves and others.  

  • Sector awareness - understands and diagnoses trends, obstacles and opportunities in the internal and external environment and capitalises on these insights. 

  • Change and project management - understands and guides the engagement and change required to deliver major projects, including identification of critical project milestones.

 

Terms of appointment 

This position is a fixed term 5 year opportunity, in a full-time capacity. Salary is negotiable and dependent on experience and expertise. Up to 17% superannuation and very attractive salary packaging options are available.
