HRI is an internationally recognised medical research institute, with global collaborations.
It is a unique time to join HRI. The next few years have the potential to be transformative, with developments such as the $150 million Cardiovascular Disease Research Capacity Building Program backed by the NSW government in 2018, and HRI’s strong fundraising capabilities, which provide a reliable and independent source of long-term funding.
Our success comes down to our people. From our scientists and researchers, to our operations and fundraising staff – they all play key roles in ensuring HRI’s place as a world-leading medical research institute.
Positions available
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cardiovascular Science
HRI is offering postdoctoral fellowships in cardiovascular science for early career researchers. The fellowships are initially for a period of two to three 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 NZ citizens working in NZ in a relevant field and currently not residing in Australia. It is anticipated that the fellowships will commence in early 2025, with two years in Sydney and potentially a third year at a collaborating institute in NZ. HRI will offer relocation assistance, and assistance with the cost of temporary accommodation upon arrival in Sydney. 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, 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. Find out more and apply.
