The position of research fellow in colorectal surgery has existed at RMH for over ten years with a strong record of successful completion of higher degrees (Doctorates and Masters) through the University of Melbourne.  The research methods learned in this position provide a very strong background in clinical research for the candidate's subsequent surgical career.

 

The research fellow enrols as a full-time student for either a masters or PhD degree through research at the University of Melbourne under the supervision of A/Prof Ian Hayes and Mr Dilshan Udayasiri.

 

The position also carries a component of clinical work through the colorectal surgical unit of the Royal Melbourne Hospital including attending two outpatient clinics per week, some out of hours on-call (on average one night per week) and some private assisting. These duties provide some extra income, keep the fellow connected with clinical work and maintain surgical skills.

 

Please see the linked RMH Careers page for Position Description and application.

We’re looking for a medical specialist to join our vibrant Fitzroy North team, stepping into a space shaped by genuine care and long-standing community connections.

 

Our very busy private practice in Melbourne's inner north has a strong referral network and serves a diverse patient population. We invite physicians and other medical specialists who want to start or grow their private consulting practice in a supportive and collaborative setting to get in touch.

 

Our clinic includes experienced general practitioners, nurses, and allied health professionals, including psychologists, our physiotherapist and podiatrist, a geriatrician, and a skin specialist. This team approach offers great opportunities for internal referrals and multidisciplinary care.
