Heart Research Institute, Sydney, Australia
The Heart Research Institute (HRI), based in Sydney, Australia is a preeminent independent Medical Research Institute focused on understanding the causes and mechanisms of cardiovascular disease to apply this knowledge and better provide prevention and treatment. HRI produces world class research in close collaboration with local health authorities, hospitals and universities as well as with its wide range of international collaborators.
To continue producing cutting edge, innovative and world-leading cardiovascular research, HRI recognises the need to attract and support talented younger scientists from diverse backgrounds and countries. To achieve this, HRI is offering fellowships for early career researchers. The Fellowships are initially for a period of 2 years to work under the mentorship of senior HRI scientists, with potential to lead to an independent research program, dependant on progression.
Due to the nature of the funding arrangement, the positions are open only to people currently or recently working in the UK at a UK cardiovascular research unit and currently not residing in Australia. It is anticipated that the fellowships will commence in early 2026. HRI will offer visa support, relocation assistance, and assistance with the cost of temporary accommodation upon arrival in Sydney. The appointments may be worked as either two years in Sydney, or one year in Sydney and one year in a collaborating institute in the UK.
This program is aimed at ambitious early career researchers and seeks to identify individuals with demonstrated creativity and an impressive CV. Successful applicants will have up to 3 years post-doctoral experience. Candidates will be selected for interview by a panel of senior discovery and clinical scientist
