Health Academia

Ccentric is the trusted search partner to many of Australia’s and the world’s leading health and medical academic institutions. At the heart of our academic practice is Pam Lubrainschik, widely regarded as the most experienced and best-connected healthcare academic recruiter in Australia.

With a career spanning decades, Pam brings unrivalled insight into the academic landscape, deep personal relationships with senior academic leaders, and an exceptional understanding of what drives success in complex, research-led environments. Her reputation, credibility and discretion mean many of the most sought-after academic leaders engage with Ccentric exclusively.

We partner with universities, medical schools, research institutes and teaching hospitals to appoint outstanding academic and clinical leaders from Australia and around the world.
