Research Physician

Based in Perth and founded by the Harry Perkins Institute for Medical Research, Linear is Western Australia's dedicated early phase clinical trials facility, delivering clinical research across a broad range of therapeutic areas.

As our organisation continues to grow, so too does our reach. With an expanding portfolio of studies and increasing collaboration with leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies around the world, this is an exciting opportunity to join an organisation helping shape the future of healthcare and medical research.

Why join Linear?

As one of our Research Physicians, you’ll get to work with investigational medicines years before they become widely available, particularly in oncology and rare diseases and have an opportunity to contribute to treatments that may become tomorrow's standard of care.

At Linear, you'll find:

• Predictable work patterns that support genuine work-life balance
• A collaborative and supportive multidisciplinary team
• The opportunity to contribute to the development of new medicines and therapies
• Ongoing learning and career development opportunities
• Exposure to a broad range of therapeutic areas and research programs
• The chance to collaborate with leading Australian and international biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies
• Diverse career pathways, including Principal Investigator, medical leadership and broader clinical research roles
• Opportunities to publish, present at conferences, contribute to guidelines and build a national or international reputation

Your Role In Our Future

Working alongside Research Physicians, Medical Directors and clinical teams, you will provide expert medical oversight of clinical trial participants, ensuring studies are conducted safely, ethically and in accordance with protocol and regulatory requirements.

As Linear’s global partnerships grow, there may also be opportunities to engage in sponsor meetings, investigator forums and industry events both locally and internationally, as well as contribute to broader initiatives across commercial, technology and operations that support innovation in clinical trials.

Some of your time will be spent;

• Collaborating with participant recruitment and screening teams to identify suitable participants for clinical trials
• Conducting medical assessments and clinical reviews to ensure participant safety and wellbeing
• Maintaining an appropriate understanding of study protocols and study progress
• Supporting the management, assessment and documentation of adverse events in accordance with protocol and Good Clinical Practice requirements
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to support quality research outcomes
• Contribute to a culture of participant safety, quality and continuous improvement

About You

Clinical trial experience is welcomed but not essential. We recognise that many successful Research Physicians come from hospital, specialist or general practice backgrounds and bring valuable clinical expertise to the research environment.

You will be:

• A medical practitioner with current AHPRA registration who does not require supervision
• Interested in applying your clinical expertise in a research setting
• Seeking a role that offers greater balance while maintaining meaningful clinical contribution
• A strong communicator who enjoys working collaboratively with others
• Curious, adaptable and open to new ways of working
• Passionate about improving health outcomes through research

At Linear, you'll have the opportunity to apply your clinical expertise in an environment that values collaboration, innovation and continuous learning. You'll contribute to research that has the potential to improve lives while being part of an organisation that's continuing to grow, evolve and make an impact both locally and globally.
