About this position

UNSW Sydney is advertising a Postdoctoral Fellow position in Rare-Earth Nanomaterials & Biomineralisation for magnetic device applications. The project sits at the intersection of materials science, chemistry, physics, and synthetic biology, with a strong emphasis on using engineered proteins as scaffolds for the synthesis and characterization of rare-earth element nanoparticles.

The successful candidate will work with a multidisciplinary team at the School of Biotechnology & Biomolecular Science (BABS), UNSW Sydney, collaborating with protein engineers, materials scientists, and physicists. The research involves biomineralized nanomaterials, nanoparticle synthesis, structural and magnetic characterization, and advanced analytical techniques relevant to nanomaterials research.

Research keywords: rare-earth nanomaterials, biomineralisation, protein engineering, magnetic materials, nanoparticle characterization, TEM/STEM-EDS, SEM, AFM, XRD, FTIR/Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis/fluorescence spectroscopy, ICP-MS/OES.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, Synthetic Biology, or a related field. Experience with nanomaterial characterization methods is preferred. Protein engineering or protein characterization experience is advantageous but not required. The post also expects a strong publication record, independent and collaborative working ability, good communication skills, and alignment with UNSW values, diversity and inclusion, and health and safety.

Funding and terms: this is a 12-month full-time postdoctoral appointment with a salary of AUD $113K–$121K plus 17% superannuation and annual leave loading.

Application window: applications are open now and close on 8 July 2026.

How to apply: submit your application online via the UNSW careers portal using the job link provided in the post. Review the role details carefully and apply before the deadline.
