The equivalent is a directed tertiary degree that includes clinical haematology, clinical blood transfusion, clinical chemistry and clinical microbiology. As this is a graduate training role, preference is given to applicants who have graduated in the previous 18 months.
Graduate Scientist placement locations within the Pathology Queensland network are negotiated with recommended candidates.
Applicants should note that only a minority of placements are within the Brisbane area.
Successful applicants should note that there may be a requirement to relocate to another location (at own expense) for the duration of the temporary contract.

During the training period the graduate may be expected to work on a day work, shift work or continuous shift work roster.
Please detail any visa conditions you may have if you are not a permanent resident of Australia.
