About Us
Linear Clinical Research Ltd is an internationally recognised, not-for-profit organisation founded by the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research (Perkins). Based in Perth, we are Western Australia’s only dedicated early phase clinical trials facility, delivering innovative research across a diverse range of therapeutic areas.

With a growing pipeline of studies and increasing global partnerships, we’re expanding our medical team throughout 2026 and 2027.

If you’re seeking a change from the demands of the hospital or GP system, this is your opportunity to transition into a research-focused role that offers:

• A genuine work/life balance with predictable hours
  
• Part-time/Full-time opportunities
• A collaborative, supportive, and positive workplace culture
• The chance to contribute to innovative clinical trials
• A lifestyle defined by sunshine, shorter commutes, and access to some of Australia’s best beaches
  

Your Role in Our Future
Whether you're looking to pivot your career, reduce burnout, or explore a new professional pathway, Linear provides the environment and support to help you succeed.

Working alongside a collaborative team of Research Physicians, Medical Directors, and clinical staff, you will provide expert medical care to participants, ensuring studies are delivered safely and in line with sponsor protocols and regulatory standards.

Clinical trial experience is welcome but not essential—this is a great opportunity to grow your career in a supportive research environment while contributing to the advancement of innovative clinical studies.

Some of your duties in this role will include;

• Collaborating with the recruitment and screening teams to identify and screen appropriate participants for specific trials who meet all inclusion criteria.
• Ensuring study preparation is completed and study specific training is undertaken prior to the commencement of a trial.
• Conducting medical assessments and clinical observations ensuring participant safety and well-being at all times during clinical trial activity.
• Maintaining appropriate knowledge of study protocols and awareness of progress across all studies.
•  Working with Senior RP’s and Medical Directors in the management and recording of adverse events in line with study protocols and Good Clinical Practise requirements. 

Who we are looking for

• Medical practitioners with current AHPRA registration and do not require supervision
• Physicians currently working in hospital or clinical settings who are open to a career transition
• Individuals seeking a more balanced, lifestyle-oriented role without compromising on clinical impact
• Strong communicators who enjoy working as part of a multidisciplinary team
