10 Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Queensland, Australia

This is an exciting opportunity for a Research Fellow to contribute to a new project on bioelectric field sensing with Rydberg atoms within A/Prof Tyler Neely’s and Prof. Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop’s team at the UQ Bose-Einstein Condensation lab.

The aim of this project is to apply Rydberg field sensors to meet open problems in the medical assessment and performance optimisation of athletes, with particular focus on sensitive monitoring of cardiac and muscle electrical signals. The candidate’s primary responsibilities will be to deliver the development of the prototype apparatus in the laboratory, engineering subsystems, design innovations, and conduct experimental measurements and evaluation.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the University of Queensland Quantum Optics Laboratory, led by Professor Warwick Bowen, and to pursue research at the frontier of optomechanical sensing. Optomechanical sensors enable exquisitely precise sensing by exploiting the combination of high-quality optical and mechanical resonances in photonic devices fabricated on a silicon chip. Our laboratory has pioneered their development and applications, including the first optomechanical magnetic, acoustic and superfluid sensors, as well as optomechanical single molecule sensors. Our research in the area is often published in high profile journals, including Science, Nature Photonics, Nature Physics, etc.

We are looking for up to six Postdoctoral Research Fellows / Research Fellows to drive future applications of optomechanical sensing. The research is part of a major new initiative to bring optomechanical sensing into areas including biomedical imaging, navigation, molecular bioscience, and sports tech.

In this role, you will lead and contribute to research programs in crop physiology and/or agronomy to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability. The position requires strong expertise in plant performance under varying environmental conditions, crop improvement strategies, and farming system optimization. You will engage with industry, government, and research collaborators, fostering partnerships that deliver outcomes aligned with regional and national agricultural priorities. This role involves independent research, supervision of students, and leadership within multidisciplinary teams.

Join our research team, actively engaged in pioneering research in dynamical systems, ergodic theory, and their applications. In this role, it is expected that you will contribute towards collaborative and self-directed research on an ARC funded Project within the School of Mathematics and Physics.

We are seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the insect molecular biology research team at the School of Agriculture and Food Sustainability (AGFS) at Gatton. The lab focuses on insect-specific viruses, insect-pathogen interactions, pest identification, and biological control strategies.

This two-year position, with the possibility of extension, involves applying molecular biology and cell culture expertise to support research and consultancy projects. Based primarily at Gatton, with occasional work at St Lucia, the role offers a collaborative environment spanning agriculture, agribusiness, plant and crop sciences, animal science, soil science, and food science.

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Research Officer will collaborate with Professor Xiwang Zhang, Dow Chair Professor and Director of the UQ Dow Centre for Sustainable Engineering Innovation, on the development of high-performance porous membranes for diverse applications, including: 1) protein separation and purification, 2) redox flow batteries, and 3) lithium recovery.

This position includes designing and executing experimental procedures for membrane development, covering fabrication, characterisation, and performance evaluation. Responsibilities also involve advancing membrane processes and equipment, conducting lab and field experiments, managing datasets, coordinating with collaborators, and contributing to data analysis and scientific writing.

The ARC Training Centre in Critical Resources for the Future is focused on Training Future Geoscientists from Discovery to Processing.​

Our future geoscientists will be bridging the gap between Mineral System Science and ore processing/metallurgical extraction understanding of the full value chain of the critical resources essential for the future of humankind.  

The ARC Training Centre in Critical Resources brings together industry, four of Australia’s leading universities, and state and federal governments to address the challenge of securing our future resources. 

Exciting opportunity for a Senior Research Fellow to join the Centre for Policy Futures under the Work Futures and Economic Security theme. As a Senior Research Fellow, you will engage in research and leverage of your established record of achievement and national recognition in your discipline to develop your international reputation. At this level, it is expected that you will perform high-level service and engagement roles and activities.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to focus on the development of new polymer sorbents for the removal of emerging global contaminant per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). In this role, you will have the opportunity to collaborate and work closely with UQ colleagues, and industry and government partners to solve this challenging issue.
