CELLULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIST – CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY GROUP 

• 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 Post-doctoral Scientist to join the Mark Cowley Lidwill Research Program in Electrophysiology at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Australia to work on induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocyte electrophysiology.

About Us

The Victor Chang 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 cellular and tissue level electrophysiology and calcium imaging to investigate arrhythmogenesis in drug-induced and congenital arrhythmias using induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes. 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

• PhD in a relevant field.
• Experience in cellular electrophysiology and measurement of intracellular calcium in cardiomyocytes.
• Experience in high throughout electrophysiology is an advantage.

Salary

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