10 Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Queensland, Australia

We invite applications for two Postdoctoral Research Fellows to work as part of the joint University of Queensland and Queensland Government (Climate Projections and Services, Department of Environment and Science) science program. The Queensland Future Climate Science Program undertakes research involving climate modelling, climate data processing and analysis, and translation of technical climate knowledge into relevant climate services for Queensland. The team delivers climate change projections information through the Queensland Future Climate website and resources such as the dashboard and the translation and communication of this information for climate risk assessment and adaptation in Queensland. The ongoing agenda is focusing on the delivery of high-resolution climate projections (10km) dynamically downscaled from CMIP6 global models at over Australia for three emissions scenarios including updating our climate services applications and delivery of the largest set of regional model projections to CMIP6 CORDEX Australasian archive.

We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow/ Research Fellow to work as part of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav). The team at UQ will be focusing on testing fundamental physics with gravitational waves, potentially including (but not limited to) cosmological applications and gravitational wave theory. Applications from all areas of gravitational wave astrophysics will be considered.

An exciting opportunity exists for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow or Research Fellow to join the world-class research team of Academics and PhD cohort at the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences Centre (QAEHS) within our Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences. Supported by a Laureate Fellowship awarded to Prof Jochen Mueller, this opportunity will support development of world leading research related to understanding the human exposome (sum of human exposures to chemicals). The Laureate project aims to develop effective tools to understand spatio-temporal trends and factors that drive chemical exposure to identify emerging chemicals of concern. The project will assess factors that affect exposure and model exposure based on chemical production, use and fate. Outcomes will support evidence-based regulation and management of chemicals to minimise adverse impacts of chemical exposure in Australia.

This is an exciting opportunity for you to work with multidisciplinary academic and industry partners and apply your skills in Microbiology, Synthetic biology and/or Bacterial Genomics. We are seeking an outcome-driven scientist to progress multiple research projects and teach and mentor students in areas relevant to the Training Centre. Based at The University of Queensland as a Microbiology focused postdoctoral fellow, you will play an integral role in engaging with industry and external partners to foster the Centre’s collaborative partnerships. 

Our prestigious School of Psychology is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to conduct high quality research in the field of cognitive neuroscience. This role provides an exciting opportunity for you to develop your expertise and emerging research profile in this specialised field of psychology whilst contributing to service and engagement roles and activities within the School, University and broader community.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to focus their efforts on developing their expertise and emerging research profile at the Centre for Chemistry and Drug Discovery, as part of the greater Institute for Molecular Bioscience.

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented post-doctoral researcher to join our NHMRC funded SAFER Hospitals research program evaluating the safety, quality and outcomes of hospital care using nationally linked hospitalisation data. The ideal candidate would have a doctoral degree (or equivalent mix of qualifications and research experience) in health services, epidemiology, statistics or health services research with a strong analytical skill and a track record of research output. In this newly created position, the Research Fellow will be responsible for independently developing and leading research in collaboration with the investigator team. Specifically, they will investigate hospital-based care for common disorders and evaluate outcomes of that care including treatment safety, effectiveness, costs, and variation in practice. In addition, the research fellow will collaboratively assist in producing publications, communications, and reports. Highly developed interpersonal and communication skills and a track record in leading research in a collaborative environment will be required.

To undertake research in the area of microbiology and natural product chemistry, to find new animal health antiparasitics from Australian soil microbes, as part of a Marine Bioproducts Cooperative research centre (MBCRC) Project between The University of Queensland and the industry partner Boehringer Ingelheim.

The position is funded by the ARC Linkage Grant “Surface and Interface Engineering for Superconducting Quantum Circuits” in collaboration with IQM, the largest EU quantum computing start-up. The primary goal of the project is to improve the coherence of superconducting qubits by improving the quality of the interfaces. The position will be affiliated with two lab led by A/Prof. A. Fedorov (qubit design, fabrication, and measurement) and Dr. P. Jacobson (material science and characterization). The candidate will work in a dynamics interdisciplinary team with the opportunity to lead PhD students and visit IQM in Finland.  For more information, please visit https://www.sqdlab.org/ and https://smp.uq.edu.au/profile/7359/peter-jacobson.
