Research Fellow – Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute Full-time

Research Fellow – Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute

Monash University is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Roman Group at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, ARMI, based at the Clayton campus.

This research-only Level A position will contribute to innovative projects in skeletal muscle tissue engineering, with a focus on understanding intercellular communication at specialised cellular junctions in vivo and in vitro. The successful candidate will lead scientific projects involving iPSC culture and differentiation and apply spatial transcriptomics approaches to interrogate regenerative processes at high resolution.

You will work within a dynamic, multidisciplinary research environment and contribute to high-impact publications, conference presentations and collaborative research activities.

This is an outstanding opportunity to develop your independent research profile while contributing to transformative discoveries in regenerative medicine.

About You

You will hold a doctoral qualification in a relevant discipline and demonstrate a strong research track record in regenerative biology or a closely related field.

You will bring:

• Demonstrated experience in iPSC and myoblast cell culture and differentiation
• Experience in biomaterials, muscle biology and advanced microscopy
• A strong publication record and analytical capability
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• The ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary research team

Experience in spatial transcriptomics or related high-dimensional molecular techniques will be highly regarded.
