Current vacancies
Expressions of Interest are currently being accepted for a Infectious Disease or Microbiology Fellow to condcut follow on studies from CAMERA2 as part of a PhD.
CAMERA2 was a randomised controlled trial that compared standard therapy with standard therapy plus an anti-staphylococcal β-lactam for MRSA bacteraemia. Results were presented at ECCMID 2019 (see here).
There are several planned sub-studies and new studies that the PhD candidate could take on – some examples are below, but the candidate would have the chance to shape the proposal according to their interests. We have funded statistician support for these studies. Please direct enquiries to Steven Tong ([email protected]) or Joshua Davis ([email protected]).
This would suit a medical doctor who is interested in clinical research and who is training in infectious diseases, microbiology, renal medicine or related fields. The PhD position could be based in Melbourne, Newcastle or Darwin. A full-time candidate is preferred. Supervision would be by Steven Tong (see his Google Scholar page), and Josh Davis (see his Google Scholar page).
