Medical Officer, Phase 1 Clinical Research | Melbourne

Medical Officer, Phase 1 Clinical Research | Melbourne | $125k to $155k + super

Looking for a move into clinical research that is a genuine step forward in your career? An established Phase 1 clinical trial site network is hiring a Medical Officer for its Melbourne unit.

Why this role

• Principal Investigator experience. You'll work as a Co-Investigator and, when delegated, act as Principal Investigator on healthy volunteer studies. Few early-career doctors get that opportunity.
• No trials background needed. Prior research experience helps, but it isn't essential. GCP training within the last two years is desirable, not mandatory.
• $125,000 to $155,000 plus superannuation, depending on your years of postgraduate experience.
• Full-time, permanent, with a more predictable routine than hospital rosters.
• Join a specialist early-phase team working at the front end of new medicines.

What you'll do

• Medical oversight of volunteers participating in Phase 1 studies
• Screening, eligibility assessment and medical review of participants
• Monitoring safety and managing adverse events
• Working closely with nursing, research and sponsor teams to deliver studies to protocol and GCP

What you'll need

• PGY3 or above
• Full, unconditional AHPRA registration (minimum 2 years)
• Recent clinical experience (within 2 years), including cannulation
• Advanced Life Support training
• A genuine interest in building a long-term career in clinical research

Whether you're a registrar between training posts, a locum GP or ED doctor wanting something more settled, or already research-curious, I'd like to hear from you!
