UniSC Clinical Trials Medical Practitioners

UniSC Clinical Trials is inviting expressions of interest from qualified medical practitioners to join Queensland’s fastest growing network of clinical research professionals across our Sunshine Coast and Morayfield locations.

This expression of interest will support current and future opportunities across our expanding portfolio of clinical trials, delivered through a university-backed, globally connected research environment.

If you are interested in contributing to innovative healthcare while maintaining flexibility in your clinical career, we welcome your application.

About UniSC Clinical Trials

UniSC Clinical Trials is one of South-East Queensland’s leading clinical research networks, delivering Phase I–IV trials across a diverse range of therapeutic areas.

Supported by dedicated project, regulatory and nursing teams, our investigators work within a high-quality, GCP-compliant environment with strong governance, established primarily international sponsor relationships, and an active pipeline of studies.

Our sites span South-East Queensland across Brisbane, Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast regions with opportunities for flexible scheduling and multiple work locations with continued growth across priority therapeutic areas.

About the expression of interest

Applications received through this EOI will be considered for a range of clinician opportunities including:

• Principal Investigator (PI) roles
• Sub-Investigator roles
• Expert Advisor and Patient Referrals

While appointments are typically sessional and designed to complement existing clinical practice, the volume of research activity may support full-time involvement for interested clinicians.

What we’re looking for

We are seeking clinicians who:

• Are registered medical practitioners in Australia
• Have an interest in clinical research and advancing evidence-based medicine
• Demonstrate strong patient care, professionalism, and ethical standards
• Are interested in flexible, portfolio-based career opportunities

Clinicians will be engaged as independent contractors, and must meet the associated contractor requirements, including holding (or being willing to obtain) an Australian Business Number (ABN) and meeting any applicable insurance, compliance, and associated requirements.

Previous clinical trial experience not essential. Training, support and mentoring will be provided.

Why join UniSC Clinical Trials

• Flexible, sessional engagement models
• Opportunity to contribute to globally sponsored research
• Strong operational and regulatory support
• Access to multidisciplinary research teams
• Professional development in clinical research

How to apply

Your expression of interest must be submitted online, and include:

• A short statement outlining your interest in clinical research, including any research experience or areas of interest
• A brief summary of your clinical background, specialty, and/or resume
• Preferred work location(s)

Applications will be retained in our talent pool and reviewed as opportunities become available.
