Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections result in a substantial burden of disease globally, particularly because they can cause cervical cancer.1 In Australia, cancers of the cervix and uterus were once leading causes of cancer-related deaths for women.2 NHMRC-funded researchers at The University of Queensland (UQ) made an important contribution to preventing cervical cancer through their development of the technology that underpins the world’s first HPV vaccines, which are used worldwide today.

At NHMRC, we aim to create a workplace which supports all staff, regardless of their gender, age, cultural or religious background, sexual orientation or personal attributes. We want NHMRC to be a flexible and fair work environment, in which staff can flourish and where differences between employees are respected and viewed as an organisational asset.

We seek to attract, develop and retain a diverse, enthusiastic and high-performing workforce. To help us in achieving this, we maintain a register of interested applicants that managers may search to fill temporary (non-ongoing) roles up to a period of 18 months.
