About this position
Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity in the University of Sydney’s School of Medical Sciences, working with Professor Margaret Sunde.

This position is designed for a researcher who wants to strengthen their postdoctoral profile through original research, scholarly activity, collaboration with academic colleagues and research partners, and involvement in wider school and faculty activities. The appointment also includes opportunities to provide informal mentoring and advice to students, contribute to a positive and collaborative workplace culture, and take part in the strategic priorities of the school and faculty.
The work described is broad rather than tied to a single narrow project, focusing on original research, teamwork, academic contribution, and engagement with a leading medical science community at one of Australia’s major research universities.
