An exciting opportunity currently exists for an enthusiastic Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellow to join our Cardiology Department for a 12-month Fellowship position from February 2025.

Details of position/position requirements:

• Duties include performing electrophysiology (EP) laboratory procedures, attending the arrhythmia outpatient clinic, device clinic and involvement in research and audit activities.
• The Austin EP unit is a busy tertiary referral unit and has a large workload in the area of catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. This includes complex EP procedures with high-density 3-D mapping systems. We perform a large number of device implantations including permanent pacemakers, defibrillators, cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices and other novel device therapies. 
• The successful applicant will undergo training in the area of clinical electrophysiology in the EP laboratory, participate in ward EP consultations and attend the arrhythmia outpatient clinic and device clinic. Further participation includes clinical unit meetings, clinical audits, teaching seminars, and the cardiac genetics meeting.
• The Austin EP unit has research interests in the areas of atrial fibrillation, stroke in atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death.  Participation in research activities is expected.
• Applications for a clinical EP fellowship in combination with a research EP fellowship leading to a higher degree will be viewed favourably.  To achieve these training goals, the fellowship position could be extended for a further two to three years.
