Senior Clinical Research Scientist

Anteris® Technologies is a global structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care. With offices in Minneapolis, MN, US; Geneva, Switzerland; and Brisbane and Perth, Australia, we have a growing and inclusive team.

Our mission is to forge new frontiers in cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) technologies were originally designed for older, high-risk patients. Today, younger, more active patients need a better solution that will not just open and close but restore healthy heart function. We seek to restore healthy blood flow patterns by creating the world’s first biomimetic TAVR valve, DurAVR® THV. This cutting-edge valve, incorporating our proprietary ADAPT® anti-calcification technology, is designed to mimic the natural function of a healthy heart valve.

The Senior Clinical Research Scientist will provide scientific, clinical, and operational expertise to support Anteris’ global clinical studies and ensure scientific objectives are achieved. This individual will work cross-functionally on the design, execution, monitoring, interpretation, and communication of clinical trial data to help advance patient outcomes through Anteris’ breakthrough structural heart technologies. 

This position reports to the Senior Manager, Clinical Research, and collaborates closely with the broader clinical and cross-functional teams to support ongoing clinical studies, clinical documentation, and the dissemination of clinical data through publications and congress activities. This is a highly visible role with the opportunity to make a significant impact at Anteris Technologies.
