Postdoctoral and PhD Opportunities in Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science at Queensland University of Technology Queensland University of Technology in Australia

The Centre for Biomedical Technologies at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Australia, is offering exciting opportunities for both a postdoctoral research fellow and a PhD student. These positions focus on developing next-generation clinical training tools for complex medical therapies, aiming to make rapid and measurable improvements in healthcare delivery and clinical practice. The research environment is dynamic, with regular opportunities for scientific publications and conference presentations.

The postdoctoral position is available until the end of 2027, with the possibility of extension based on future grant or fellowship success. Applicants should hold both bachelor and PhD degrees in engineering, with a preference for materials engineering. However, candidates with backgrounds in biomedical, mechanical, electrical, or mechatronics engineering are also encouraged to apply. Preferred qualifications include experience in the biomedical field, working closely with clinicians, and skills in 3D printing, casting, ethics applications, and medical device testing. Due to the urgent nature of the appointment, candidates must have working rights in Australia for the duration of the contract.

The PhD scholarship is fully funded for 3.5 years. Candidates must have a bachelor degree in engineering, preferably in materials engineering, but biomedical, mechanical, electrical, or mechatronics engineering backgrounds are also suitable. Experience with clinicians, 3D printing, casting, and device testing is desirable but not essential. The most important trait sought is a passion for making a difference in patient care.

To apply, interested candidates should email their CV and cover letter to [email protected], specifying the position of interest. PhD applicants should also include an academic transcript. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further discussion. For questions, direct messages via LinkedIn are welcome.

Key research areas include biomedical engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, medical devices, and 3D printing. The Centre for Biomedical Technologies at QUT provides a collaborative environment for impactful research in healthcare innovation.
