About this position
This research-focused role sits in the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences at The University of Queensland, based at the St Lucia campus. The position is offered at Academic Level A or B, allowing appointment either as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow or Research Fellow depending on the successful candidate’s background and track record.
The appointed researcher will join a collaborative environment focused on soil microbiology, bioinformatics, and enzyme technology. The project is described as having potential to create meaningful outcomes for agriculture and other research end users, with an emphasis on translating research findings into practical impact. The role is framed around high-quality research outputs, collaboration, and building research capability within a strong interdisciplinary setting.
At Level A, the role emphasizes developing research expertise, contributing to publications and collaborative projects, and supporting competitive funding applications. At Level B, the researcher is expected to take greater ownership of an independent and/or collaborative research program, contribute to or lead research outputs, and help build partnerships that extend the impact of the work. The position also includes research translation, collaboration with colleagues and external partners, and contributions to the supervision and development of HDR and Honours students.
