At this level, it is expected that the incumbent will contribute to service and engagement roles and activities.

Australia’s Food and Beverage Accelerator (FaBA) is a $160 million initiative to boost growth and innovation in the food and beverage manufacturing sector. Part of the Federal Government’s Trailblazer Program, FaBA leverages $50m of government investment with more than $110m from universities and industry. Partners work across four areas: the research programs ‘Innovative Ingredients’ and ‘Premium Food and Beverage Products’, and the enabling programs ‘Innovation Pathways’ and the ‘FaBA Training Centre’. A national initiative, FaBA provides F&B manufacturers access to research teams, next generation industry professionals, state-of-the-art equipment and pilot facilities. FaBA is proudly hosted by The University of Queensland, in collaboration with participants QUT, UniSQ and UniQuest.

The University of Queensland has a fantastic opportunity for a Postdoctoral researcher to join the Blood Vessel Integrity Group, led by Dr Anne Lagendijk. The group’s overall aim is to uncover the cellular mechanisms that control blood vessel integrity, both during embryonic development and in disease. This is a full-time position being offered as a 2-year maximum-term contract, with potential for renewal, based at the Institute of Molecular Biosciences (IMB), St Lucia. In this role, the successful applicant will undertake internationally competitive research using zebrafish models. The primary focus will be to screen candidate disease genes that are associated with abdominal aortic calcification to determine if they are involved in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis, and pathogenesis of related musculoskeletal co-morbidities. This project will be conducted in close collaboration with Dr John Kemp who leads the Musculoskeletal Genomics Group at Mater Research

This project is a collaborative research project between UQ and American partners to develop virus/RNA-based protection for citrus diseases. The USDA funded project will focus on developing a delivery system for an RNA protection vector in both model plants and several species of citrus. 

The successful candidate will be responsible for undertaking research; supervising research of higher degree students; and conducting professional activities on antenna technologies and microwave engineering. We welcome applications from engineers with a broad expertise in electromagnetic theory, computational electromagnetics, and industry-standard electromagnetic simulation tools, as well as prototyping and experimental methods at microwave and millimetre-wave frequencies. Experience in and wireless systems will also be considered of high value. This is full time position for up to three-years fixed term with the aim of strategic developments of collaborative efforts with industry and government agencies. During the term of the position, the researcher will be expected to work on various research projects and to develop new avenues of research and collaborations. Research areas of particular interest in applied electromagnetics include reconfigurable antennas, metasurfaces and reflectarrays, beam-steering antennas, additive manufacturing and novel materials for antennas and electromagnetic structures.

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 outcomes research, 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.

We are looking for a motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow for a project focused on the adaptation of wheat to changing environments via the use of crop physiology, crop modelling, and genomics. Work will be performed in collaboration with crop physiologists, modellers, geneticists and breeders from the University of Queensland and other institutions including Arvalis, INRAE (France) and Australian Grain Technologies (AGT), the largest wheat breeding company in Australia.

This is a great opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow / Research Officer with a strong background in engineering and applied mathematics to advance modelling of complex systems associated with renewable energy production and hydrogen.
