• World class research institute
• Cutting edge scientists making ground breaking discoveries
• Full time position for up to 3 years, subject to funding

Applications are invited for a Research Assistant or Post-doctoral Scientist to join the Computational Cardiology group, part of the Mark Cowley Lidwill Research Program in Electrophysiology at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, Australia.

About Us

The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute has earned its place on the global stage as one of the most respected heart research facilities in the world. With a focus on heart disease and cardiovascular biology, we are internationally recognised for the quality of our discoveries. The Institute is also a centre-of-excellence in cardiovascular research training, and in the rapid translation of discoveries into new diagnostics, preventions and treatments of cardiovascular disease.

The Role

In this position, you will use computational models of cardiac electrophysiology to evaluate the mechanism of disease in both inherited and drug-induced arrhythmias.

You will join a dynamic team of scientists working on the molecular basis of abnormal heart rhythms using state-of-the-art electrophysiology and computational techniques.

This is a full-time appointment for up to three years with the possibility of renewal subject to funding.

Skills Required

• Applicants must hold relevant qualifications.
• Experience in simulation of biological processes, numerical methods, programming (eg. C++, Python) and scientific computing environments (eg. Matlab) are essential; experience with CUDA is also desirable. 
• A background in cardiac electrophysiology would also be an advantage.

Salary

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Salary packaging and superannuation options are also available.
