Careers

What if your work could change the future of human health?

At the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, that's not an aspiration — it's what we do every day. We are one of the world's leading independent medical research institutes, and we are reshaping the face of healthcare — turning breakthrough science into lifesaving impact for the millions of Australians living with heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

We're looking for exceptional people who share that vision. Whether you're a researcher pushing the boundaries of discovery science, a clinician bridging the gap between bench and bedside, or a professional services professional who keeps the engine running — your contribution matters here.

Why work at the Baker Institute?

We offer more than a job. We offer a purpose.

Our people work at the cutting edge of cardiovascular and diabetes research, in one of Australia's most dynamic medical research precincts — Melbourne's Alfred Research Alliance, home to some of the country's most celebrated research and clinical institutions. Day to day, that means genuine collaboration, access to world-class facilities and the knowledge that your work is connected to real outcomes for real people.

We're proud of the culture we've built — one that values flexibility, invests in professional development and champions equity and inclusion at every level. We have a strong commitment to gender equity in science, a Reconciliation Action Plan that guides our work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and a genuine belief that diverse teams produce better science.

We also have a presence beyond Melbourne's CBD. Our Hoppers Crossing hub brings our research into Melbourne's west, extending our reach into communities where the impact of heart disease and diabetes is felt most acutely.
