This position is available part-time for 22.2 hours per week. You will be a qualified healthcare practitioner (doctor, nurse, paramedic, physiotherapist, physician associate, pharmacist or other advanced healthcare practitioner), with a commitment to clinical research and/or medical education. Post-graduate research qualifications, or an intention to undertake a higher research degree is desirable, and we will look to support those wishing to pursue this.
