Postdoctoral Fellowship (07) at University of Queensland, Australia

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow / Research Officer in geotechnical engineering with a strong background in electromagnetic methods and data analysis who can contribute towards our program of research.

This exciting opportunity involves conducting research on the electromagnetic characterisation of geomaterials. Additionally, you will participate in a TMR-funded project focused on analysing the conditions along transport infrastructure in North Queensland.

We have an exciting opportunity available for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow or Research Fellow to join our world-class research team at Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences (QAEHS). We are specifically looking for early career researchers who have a passion for research in environmental analytical chemistry. 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.

Supported by several ARC research grants awarded to A/Prof Sarit Kaserzon, this is an exciting opportunity to conduct independent research, under the support and guidance of more senior academic staff, within the field of environmental analytical chemistry. A major objective of these projects will be to establish analytical approaches for target and suspect screening analyses of environmental contaminants in human biomonitoring and environmental samples using high-resolution mass spectrometry. You will develop sensitive methods with excellent quality control, be able to interpret high-resolution mass spectrometry data, conduct MS/MS experiments, and quantify or semi-quantify analytes in complex samples. You will also have opportunities to contribute to research project design and funding applications, and gain leadership experience supervising students engaged in these activities.

We are seeking two Postdoctoral Research Fellows/Research Fellows in Human-Centred AI for Decision Support to join Professor Tim Miller’s team. The project focuses on scalable, AI-driven decision-making in collaboration with defence industry partners and an academic partner at the University of Melbourne.

One role focuses on machine learning for decision support systems, and the other on human factors/cognitive psychology in AI-based decision support.

You’ll design and test AI-driven tools and run large-scale experiments. This role offers research impact, external engagement, and optional teaching experience—an excellent opportunity to grow your research portfolio.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Research Fellow, specialising in opioid pharmacology and/or opioid drug design, to join our world-leading School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Play a pivotal role in driving this vital research at UQ by managing the opioid drug discovery laboratory with Professor Peter Cabot.

Join a university that’s shaping the future of agriculture through world-class research, global collaboration and a culture that empowers people to do their life’s best work. As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, you’ll have the opportunity to advance breakthrough science while belonging to a supportive, high-performing team that values curiosity, innovation and real-world impact.

In this role, you’ll be part of the landmark project “Unlocking crop epigenomics to uncover and engineer hidden diversity”, harnessing revolutionary technologies to explore how biological information beyond DNA sequence influences crop performance across generations and environments. This is your chance to work with cutting-edge high-throughput DNA methylation profiling, analyse population-scale epigenomic and multi-omic datasets, and develop new bioinformatic pipelines that push scientific boundaries.

You’ll uncover patterns of methylation variation, inheritance and trait association (including epiGWAS and predictive modelling), generating world-first insights that could transform how breeders enhance yield and resilience in sorghum, barley and wheat. Supported by UQ’s collaborative culture and state-of-the-art facilities, you’ll work alongside leading scientists across disciplines—contributing discoveries that have real impact on global food security and next-generation plant breeding.
