11 Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Queensland, Australia

Are you a talented researcher ready to make a real impact on understanding hail hazards in Western Europe? We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to play a leading role in an AXA Research Fund supported project, focusing on France, Switzerland, and Northern Italy. You will contribute directly to two key objectives: creating the first complete radar-based hail climatology for the region, mapping hail swaths for individual events over a decade of observations, and designing, developing, and training geostationary satellite-based hail retrievals. Your work will provide critical insights into hail hazards and support improvements in forecasting and risk assessment.

Throughout your appointment, opportunities will become available to gain some teaching experience and to supervise and mentor research degree students. You will collaborate closely with international researchers at AXA, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, MeteoSwiss, and regional weather services in Northern Italy, expanding your research network and building a strong professional profile while contributing to a high-impact, globally relevant project.

Join the team as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and help transform how we detect and treat bloodstream infections and sepsis in critically ill patients. This is your opportunity to contribute to a high-impact MRFF-funded project while building your own independent research portfolio in a world-class clinical research environment.

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to take the lead in advancing research on potassium cycling to drive more sustainable grain production. You’ll investigate how fertiliser potassium behaves across diverse soils in northern and southern Australia, uncovering ways to boost nutrient recovery and efficiency while supporting resilient farming systems.

In this role, you’ll work across field sites, glasshouse trials, and laboratory studies, applying techniques like stable isotopes (K-41) and wet chemistry. You’ll also have the chance to publish, supervise students, and connect with industry, making a real impact on both food security and environmental outcomes.

This is a unique opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Research Fellow to advance their expertise and build a strong, emerging research profile within Electrical Engineering. The role also provides an exciting opportunity to engage with the solar farm industry to develop and validate methods to enhance reliability of large solar farms. The role will focus specifically on research and development for solar farm operation and maintenance—an area with significant potential for innovation and impact.

The successful candidate will be supported and mentored by senior research staff, with the expectation of growing autonomy over time. In addition to research responsibilities, the role also includes meaningful contributions to service and engagement activities, fostering collaboration across the university and industry.

Join a globally recognised institution where your research will drive real-world impact. At UQ’s School of Public Health, we’re seeking a passionate Research Fellow to advance statistical methodologies and contribute to a new data product that integrates model outputs into our platform – helping us better understand environmental exposures and health outcomes.

This is a research-focused academic position that will see you:

• Lead and contribute to high-impact research in environmental epidemiology and statistical modelling.

• Develop and publish innovative methodologies for association analysis.

• Collaborate across disciplines to secure competitive research funding and translate findings to end users.

• Supervise and mentor HDR students, fostering the next generation of public health researchers.

  • Engage with industry, government, and community stakeholders to build meaningful partnerships.

Join the Yu Group at AIBN and work on an exciting NHMRC-funded project that will focus your research efforts on nanotechnology and cancer immunotherapy. Develop your expertise and research profile working with a high performing team on cutting edge research in state-of-the-art facilities. In this role, you will be expected to contribute to student supervision and research development, as well as service and engagement roles and activities.

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Research Fellow, with expertise in cohort studies and clinical pain science, to join our world-class Centre for Innovation in Pain and Health Research (CIPHeR) in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. This is an exciting opportunity to support high-impact, vital research and create real change!

The successful applicant will take a leadership role in research projects funded by a NHMRC Synergy and Investigator Grants and will play a central role in the organisation and administration of the relevant project(s) within Professor Paul Hodges’ research group. The role includes engagement with the grant’s chief and associate investigators across Australia and internationally.

Developed with a national and international team of experts in pain science, the projects encompass the development and oversight of major cohort studies of individuals with pain. These studies will implement a diverse range of measurement methods that enable the identification of the predominant pain mechanism and the underlying neurobiology that underpins different pain presentations. Leading the design and implementation of major cohort studies to evaluate the validity of these measures is the central responsibility of this role.

Join a visionary team at the intersection of database systems and artificial intelligence. As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Research Officer in the Database System group, you’ll contribute to building intelligent, scalable, and robust data infrastructures that redefine how AI and data systems interact. 

This is not just theoretical work – your research will result in deployable system prototypes, cutting-edge algorithms, and publications in top-tier venues. You’ll be part of a collaborative environment that values innovation, reproducibility, and real-world impact. 

We are seeking three Postdoctoral Research Fellows to join our world-class research team at the Frazer Institute to support and drive cancer epigenomics research. We are specifically looking for early career researchers who have a passion for epigenetics and a keen interest in translating research into clinical applications. Work with us to create real change, and we’ll help you get the best start to your academic career at one of Australia’s leading universities!

Working under the guidance and direction of Associate Professor Jason Lee, successful candidates will conduct vital research in cancer epigenomics with the aim of developing novel biomarkers and therapeutics. Specifically, you will support the major project “Understanding and Overcoming Resistance to new and emerging Therapies in Uveal Melanoma” which is supported by the US Department of Defense in collaboration with UNSW, Macquarie University and pharmaceutical companies.
