ANU has an international reputation for research and education relevant to the health and well-being of the population of Australia, as well as that of the developing world. This is achieved through discovery research, applied research in health service settings, research-led teaching in health and medical sciences, and the translation of research findings into practice and policy. The ANU College of Health and Medicine comprises the Research School of Psychology, the ANU Medical School, the John Curtin School of Medical Research and the Research School of Population Health. These schools work together to deliver world-class research and education across the spectrum of medicine and health-related fields, working in partnership with the health sector at local, national and international levels.

The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) is a multi-disciplinary research institute with a distinguished history of ground-breaking discoveries in Immunology, Genomics, Cancer Research, and Neuroscience. The Centre for Personalised Immunology (CPI) is a translational research centre located within the JCSMR focussed on understanding the mechanisms of immunological disease as a means to improve diagnosis and treatment. The CPI operates as a national and international network of clinicians and researchers. This position has been established through a generous donation by Jenny and Bruce Pryor, who hoped their bequest could be used to research dermatomyositis and related conditions.

The Jenny and Bruce Pryor Research Fellow will develop and implement an independent program of high impact research within the CPI. This role will be responsible for fostering national and international leadership in autoimmune muscle disease. There is an opportunity to negotiate a conjoint clinical appointment for appropriately qualified applicants.
