• Supporting the ethical and compliant conduct of clinical trials

Engagement may be via casual employment or a contractor arrangement, depending on individual circumstances and/or study requirements.

• Flexible working arrangements with sessions scheduled around your availability
• Competitive remuneration
• Support from an experienced and collaborative clinical trial team
• Opportunities to build your experience as a Sub-Investigator or Principal Investigator

What We're Looking For

• Current medical registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency
• A commitment to participant safety and high-quality clinical care
• Strong communication and professional skills
• Availability to support participant visits during business hours
• Previous experience as a Sub-Investigator or Principal Investigator is highly desirable

Clinicians with an interest in clinical research and a willingness to undertake investigator training are also encouraged to apply
