Research Scientist Molecular Biology

Job Description Principal Clinical Scientist

(Senior Clinical Scientist level also considered)

We're looking for a clinical scientist — someone who has been the scientific lead for clinical studies before, from protocol development to start-up (development of critical study documents) through to study execution, data analysis and interpretation and close-out with a clinical study report. Having prepared regulatory submissions of study results is a pre. It's one of two newly approved roles, created ahead of anticipated demand rather than to backfill a departure, which means there's genuine room to help shape how the team works rather than simply joining an existing structure.

Hybrid based (3 days a week onsite) in Maidenhead (UK), Melbourne (Aus) or Zurich (CH)

This role exists because CSL is adding capacity to get that execution right: someone who can lead all scientific needs of a study properly, and co-own the end to end alongside clinical operations, is what actually moves a clinical development plan forward. It's not a supporting or administrative function — it's the core that determines whether the science translates into a trial that runs cleanly and data that holds up.

You'll take ownership of clinical studies end-to-end, acting as the scientific and operational anchor between the program team and outsourced delivery partners.

Lead all scientific elements of clinical studies from protocol development through study execution to a final clinical study report

Contribute to the scientific interpretation of clinical data and supporting documentation

Demonstrated, hands-on experience with clinical studies (protocol development, execution, close-out) — not solely oversight or academic exposure

Experience writing clinical study protocols and clinical study reports directly

A collaborative, cross-functional working style — comfortable building relationships rather than working independently
