CMRI is part of the largest health and medical research precinct in Australia and also a member of the Westmead Research Hub. This membership allows our staff access to the vast array of technology, services, resources and expertise available nearby at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Westmead Hospital and the Westmead Institute. Opportunities to join the team at CMRI are occasionally available in the areas of research, administration, fundraising, and laboratory support.

Join a world-leading, independent medical research institute
Contribute to the health of future generations/children through medical research
Located in Westmead— Australia’s foremost biomedical research precinct

Research Assistant roles at Children's Medical Research Institute's Cell Signalling Group, advancing cancer research using cutting-edge microscopy and molecular biology.

CMRI was Australia’s first dedicated paediatric research facility and is now one of the world’s most highly regarded independent medical research organisations. Our research focuses on the four key areas impacting children’s health: cancer, genomics and genetic diseases, neurobiology, and embryology.

The Cell Signalling Unit at CMRI seeks two Research Assistants to support diverse laboratory research activities associated with the study of endocytosis molecular mechanisms and pharmacology. Both roles will work collaboratively as part of a dynamic research team, contributing to experimental work, day-to-day laboratory operations, and training of junior staff. Each role is aligned with a distinct technical focus.

Please indicate in your cover letter whether you are seeking Position 1, Position 2, or are interested in both. Shortlisted candidates may be considered for either role according to skills and interests.
