Australian Army Reserve - Medical Scientist - Research

Your Role:

Looking for a new challenge that combines your medical research expertise with the opportunity to give back to your country? The Army Reserve has an exciting opportunity for you.

With the global situation changing almost daily, medical professionals are more important than ever. And that's where you come in.

As a part-time Medical Scientist (Research), you'll help protect the Australian Army and communities from vector-borne diseases, working at a world-recognised centre – the Australian Defence Force Malaria and Infectious Disease Institute (ADFMIDI).

You will be instrumental in evaluating new drugs, vaccines and personal protective measures, while undertaking risk assessments. With potential opportunities to assist in multi-national humanitarian operations, this is highly rewarding work.

Not only will you make a big difference, you'll also get to build on your experience, gaining new skills to further your full-time career.

Boost your Income:

The pay you receive in the Army Reserve goes straight into your pocket with no deductions for tax, and it increases as you gain seniority and experience.

On completion of your initial military and employment training, you could earn a package worth at least $206/day tax-free.

Additional amounts are paid for time spent on exercises and deployments.

Life in the Army Reserve:

Thousands of men and women enjoy part-time roles with the Army Reserve, operating alongside full-time Army personnel. The only difference is that your commitment is flexible.

Initial training length will vary based on your chosen role, after which you will normally be expected to serve between 10 and 20 days per year, with scope to serve more days if they are available. This could involve one night a week, one weekend a month or a few weeks a year.

We do our best to make sure this fits in with your work and family commitments; and deployments are voluntary so if you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference closer to home. And with no minimum period of service, you can leave the Army Reserve whenever you like.
