Pioneer the future of interventional pulmonology at a designated centre of excellence with access to robotic bronchoscopy, cone beam CT guidance and first-in-human research

Macquarie University Health is seeking an Interventional Pulmonology and Respiratory Fellow to join our flagship Interventional Pulmonology service, a designated centre of excellence and the only AABIP/AIPPD accredited training site outside the United States.

This is a unique two-year fellowship opportunity that combines intensive hands-on procedural training in the first year with a dedicated research year contributing to a Master of Research thesis, with the possibility of progression to a PhD for interested candidates. You will work alongside leading respiratory and sleep physicians, gaining exposure to cutting-edge technology and techniques that are redefining the diagnosis and treatment of lung disease.

With the advent of lung cancer screening in Australia, our team has developed a comprehensive lung cancer screening and incidental nodule program, with advanced diagnosis and management of peripheral nodules at its core. You will have access to ultrathin bronchoscopes, the Noah Medical Galaxy Robotic Bronchoscopy System, the Intuitive Ion Robotic Bronchoscopic System, and integrated cone beam CT guidance, capabilities that position Macquarie University Health at the forefront of respiratory medicine nationally and internationally.

About the Role

As an Interventional Pulmonology and Respiratory Fellow, you will provide clinical services for both respiratory inpatients and outpatients while developing advanced procedural and research skills. You will have the opportunity to:

• Gain hands-on experience across a wide range of respiratory cases and procedures including linear and radial EBUS, rigid bronchoscopy, cryobiopsy of central and peripheral lung lesions, robotic and CBCT-guided bronchoscopy, endoscopic laser resection, stent deployment and bronchial thermoplasty for refractory asthma
• Develop skills in performing pleural procedures within our established and dedicated pleural service, one of only three in NSW
• Participate in first-in-human research projects investigating novel methods for endoscopic lung volume reduction in COPD, including segmental polymer sealant ablation and airway bypass devices
• Contribute to our active research program in local bronchoscopic therapy of lung cancers in conjunction with robotic platforms
• Participate in multidisciplinary meetings including lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, Interventional Pulmonology and Pulmonary Nodule MDTs
• Supervise and train students, registrars and other Doctors in Training
• Contribute to educational activities across Macquarie University Health
• Work towards AABIP certification, with access to the AABIP/AIPPD curriculum, educational materials and events, assessed alongside U.S. colleagues

Macquarie University Health Respiratory is also a leading centre in the management and research of bronchoscopic techniques for lung volume reduction in COPD (including endobronchial valves, thermal liquid ablation, airway bypass devices and polymer sealant), and a major referral centre for interventional management of central airways disease, lung cancer diagnosis and treatment, refractory asthma, bronchiectasis and interstitial lung disease.
