YOUR ROLE IN OUR FUTURE
Scientist Grade 1 – Molecular Pathology Analyst
Full Time, Fixed Term Role
• 3 Month, Fixed Term Role
• 80 hours / Fortnight with ADO
• Salary Range $63K-$91K Pro Rata.
The Molecular Pathology Laboratory in the Department of Pathology is looking for a Grade 1 Medical Scientist to join our Familial Cancer team and to help support the molecular diagnostic services. The 3-month fixed term full-time position presents an exciting opportunity to gain experience in this rapidly growing field.
Suitable candidates must be highly motivated, self-driven, patient-focused, and possess a relevant science degree with genetics and molecular biology experience. Experience working in an accredited Diagnostic Molecular Pathology/Genetics laboratory, and subject matter expertise in the subdiscipline of familial cancer genomics would be an advantage.
Victorian Department of Health has endorsed the initiative to restructure existing public pathology by bringing together laboratories into pathology networks operating under a lead health service.
Pathology services from the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, the Royal Women’s Hospital and the Royal Children’s Hospital will transition to a single pathology service. This creates an exciting opportunity to strengthen the scope, scale and reach of pathology services across the Parkville precinct to benefit all Victorians.
This role will transition to the new lead health service for pathology services once determined.
Applicants to this role should provide a covering letter outlining relative key skills and experience to assist us with our assessment.
