Employment Opportunities with DEPM

Working at DEPM

Located 5km from Melbourne's CBD, within easy access to trams, trains and buses, DEPM is located in the Alfred Hospital's Medical Research and Education Precinct (AMREP). AMREP is a new research complex which brings together some of Melbourne's top research institutes, including the Burnet Institute, Baker Heart Research Institute, Clinical Trials Victoria and the Monash Blood Diseases Group.

Location within AMREP offers our staff and students opportunities to collaborate with staff from other research groups, to access the AMREP Education Centre seminar and classrooms, and to use the Ian Potter Library.  It also puts us within walking distance of some great open spaces at Fawkner & Albert Lake Parks, as well as being close to the world famous Chapel St shopping precinct.

Established in 1969 at the Monash University Medical School - Alfred Hospital, DEPM plays a prominent role in public health medicine in Australia. The core skills of the department relate to epidemiology (the study of the distribution, risk factors and causes of disease) and its application to problems in clinical medicine and public health.

 

Senior Research Fellow/ Clinical Research Specialist

In 2009-2010, the ANZIC-RC will be coordinating numerous large phase II and phase III research projects including STATInS (atorvastatin in sepsis), ARISE (early goal directed therapy) and PHARLAP (ventilation strategy trial in ARDS). Furthermore in 2009, the ANZIC-RC proposes to further its traumatic brain injury program by conducting two novel large randomised controlled trials. In addition to assisting with all aspects of the design and conduct of these and other single and multi-centre clinical research projects the successful candidate will be encouraged and fully supported to complete an individual research project.

The successful applicant will have postgraduate training in intensive care medicine; and have passed the FRACP (pt1), ANZCA (pt 1) fellowship exams or equivalent. It is highly desirable that the successful candidate will have a postgraduate degree, have prior research experience or have a publication record. However, as part of the ANZIC-RC commitment to clinical research training, highly experienced intensive care clinicians / trainees without an established research background may be considered for this position. Applicants will be provided with all the additional supervision and training necessary to maximise this opportunity.
