The School of Physics is embarking on a major initiative to develop a Physical Biosciences research program and is seeking high level scientific leadership. The program builds on established foundations represented by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coherent X-ray Science and opportunities available in the wider University such as the Victorian Life Sciences Supercomputer Initiative. 

The Chair of Physical Biosciences will have achieved notable distinction and have an established history of scientific leadership, an outstanding internationally recognised record of research at the interface of physics, chemistry and biology, success in establishing and leading innovative teaching and research programs and a proven capacity to attract competitive research funding.
