The group is located in the heart of UNSW’s biomedical precinct on level 4 of the Wallace Wurth Medical Sciences Building. The biomedical precinct incorporates the School of Medical Sciences, the Wallace Wurth and Lowy Cancer Centres and the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences, providing on-site access to world class biomedical research facilities.

UNSW isn’t like other places you’ve worked. Yes, we’re a large organisation with a diverse and talented community; a community doing extraordinary things.

If you want a career where you can thrive, be challenged and do meaningful work, you’re in the right place.

Details of the role

Working with internationally recognised research leader Professor Robert Gilchrist at the Fertility & Research Centre, you will undertake innovative research in the field of oocyte and ovarian biology, with the overall objectives of defining new mechanisms regulating female fertility and developing new fertility treatments for infertile and cancer patients. The research will focus on the mechanisms mediating oocyte-somatic cell communication and the determinants of oocyte quality, including in the context of reproductive ageing. A focus on cellular and molecular biology techniques will be employed using animal models and human tissues.

Who You Are

The successful candidate will enhance the science research profile of the research unit and attract external grant funding. You’ll also have a high level of research output in the form of peer-reviewed publications. This highly collaborative role will have significant interaction with other scientists and clinical partners.
