Post-doctoral Fellowships in Cardiovascular Science
Heart Research Institute
The HRI is a preeminent independent Medical Research Institute focused on understanding the causes and mechanisms of cardiovascular disease to apply this knowledge and provide better prevention and treatment. The HRI produces world class research in close collaboration with local health authorities, hospitals, and universities as well as with its wide range of international collaborators.
To continue producing cutting edge, innovative and world-leading cardiovascular research, the HRI recognises the need to attract and support talented younger scientists from diverse backgrounds and countries. To achieve this, the HRI is offering fellowships for early career researchers. The Fellowships are initially for a period of 2 years to work under the mentorship of senior HRI scientists, with potential to lead to an independent research program, dependant on progression.
Due to the nature of the funding arrangement, the positions are open only to people currently or recently working in the UK at a UK cardiovascular research unit and currently not residing in Australia. It is anticipated that the fellowships will commence in early 2025. HRI will offer visa support, relocation assistance, and assistance with the cost of temporary accommodation upon arrival in Sydney. The appointments may be worked as either two years in Sydney, or one year in Sydney and one year in a collaborating institute in the UK.
This program is aimed at ambitious early career researchers and seeks to identify individuals with demonstrated creativity and an impressive CV. Successful applicants will have 3-8 years post-doctoral experience (career interruptions will be taken into consideration on request), a strong track record and be on a leadership trajectory. Candidates will be selected for interview based on academic excellence and potential for leadership by a panel of senior discovery and clinical scientists.
Applicant’s work and proposed project should ideally synergise with one HRI’s key areas of interest, as outlined below. Applicants must have identified an HRI group they wish to work with and must have secured the support of the relevant Group/Unit Leader and discussed a research plan/project. Further information on the research of each group can be found at Research and Medical Science • Heart Research Institute
