Postdoctoral Fellowship (06) at Monash University, Australia

Join a leading research environment where the Research Fellow plays a key role in advancing treatments for eating disorders through the delivery of high-quality clinical trials. Based at the BrainPark facility and working in collaboration with the Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre, the position supports the design, implementation and dissemination of research aligned with Good Clinical Practice standards and regulatory requirements. The role contributes to the development of personalised interventions informed by both clinical expertise and lived experience.

The position is responsible for supporting the coordination and delivery of multi-site clinical trials, including the implementation of novel interventions. It also supports research outputs such as publications, conference presentations and funding submissions, while providing guidance to research staff and students. A strong focus on clinical trial management, data integrity and the effective use of systems such as REDCap underpins the delivery of rigorous and compliant research processes.

We are seeking someone with a doctoral qualification in Clinical Psychology or Neuropsychology, with AHPRA endorsement in Clinical Psychology and clinical supervision accreditation. The role also calls for demonstrated experience in clinical trials, statistical analysis and research dissemination, alongside strong organisational, communication and leadership skills.

The successful applicant will be appointed at either Level A or Level B, commensurate with qualifications and relevant experience. Please specify in your cover letter the level that you are applying for.

This is an opportunity to contribute to meaningful research with real-world impact, and we look forward to receiving your application.

The Faculty of Science is seeking a motivated and emerging researcher to join a project integrating global and local historical data to better understand physical environment–biodiversity relationships and change in the Antarctic region.

You will contribute to Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF) and the School of Biological Sciences research outcomes that generate new evidence to inform biodiversity policy for Antarctica.

Working closely with an interdisciplinary team, you will help build a richer understanding of how environmental change shapes biodiversity patterns over time, supporting policy development in one of the world’s most sensitive and rapidly changing ecosystems.

This is an excellent opportunity for an early‑career researcher looking to deepen their skills, expand their research portfolio, and contribute to work with real‑world environmental and policy significance.

Monash University is seeking a Research Fellow (Immunology) to join the Department of Immunology within the School of Translational Medicine, based at the Alfred campus.

This role will contribute to cutting-edge research in the Allergy and Humoral Immunity , and Immune Memory Labs, supporting projects focused on understanding immune responses and improving the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will design and conduct experiments, analyse complex data, and contribute to high quality research outputs including publications and presentations. You will also collaborate across multidisciplinary teams and support the broader research program within the Department.

Reporting to the Monash Rural Health Director of Research, the focus of this role will be to make contributions to the teaching effort of the University, particularly at undergraduate and graduate diploma level and to carry out activities to develop her/his scholarly, research and/or professional expertise relevant to the profession or discipline.

As the successful candidate you will be responsible for playing a key role in supporting First Nations communities to engage in research that addresses their priority health issues. The position is supported as a partnership with the Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health-University of Sydney as a part of the Sunraysia Collaboration to build research capacity within the region’s First Nations communities. 

The appointee will have suitable experience or qualification in a relevant scholarly discipline or a closely related field

The Faculty of Information Technology is seeking a Research Fellow to advance cutting‑edge research in neuro‑symbolic artificial intelligence within the Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on visual reasoning and robotic systems. 

The Research Fellow position involves developing novel approaches that integrate computer vision, natural language processing, and symbolic reasoning, contributing to both theoretical advances and real-world robotic applications. 

The successful candidate will have a strong research background in at least two of the following areas:

• Computer Vision

• Natural Language Processing

• Knowledge Representation and Reasoning / Logic

• Robotics or Embodied AI

Experience with robotic platforms or simulation environments (e.g., ROS, Isaac Gym, Habitat, AirSim) and experience in combining symbolic reasoning with deep learning approaches will be well regarded.

This is not a typical postdoctoral role. This is your chance to join a newly established, high-impact laboratory led by Associate Professor Fabrice Jaffré, a globally recognised cardiac biologist whose career spans Sorbonne University, Harvard Medical School and Weill Cornell Medical College.

Now at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI), the Jaffré Lab is building next-generation models of congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathies in children with rare genetic disorders, with a clear line of sight to therapeutic discovery.

You will step into a lab at a pivotal moment, helping shape its direction, establish cutting-edge workflows, and drive forward ambitious, translational research supported by international funding, including the Additional Ventures Single Ventricle Research Fund.

Working at the intersection of developmental biology, genetics and bioengineering, you will leverage a powerful toolkit, including:

• Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)
• Cardiac directed differentiation
• CRISPR genome editing
• Multi-omics (RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, etc.)
• 3D cardiac organoids and engineered heart tissues

If you are motivated by solving complex biological problems and want your work to directly contribute to improving outcomes for children with life-threatening heart conditions, this is the role for you.
