About this position

This position is part of a new industry-linked research project at The University of Queensland focused on how AI data centres and critical minerals infrastructure can be planned more intelligently together. The role sits in the School of Chemical Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology, and is based at UQ’s St Lucia campus in Brisbane.

The successful appointee will develop research on geospatial modelling and interactive decision-support tools for the co-location of infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on water and energy optimisation and the potential for shared infrastructure. The project is explicitly applied and collaborative, with work designed to translate research into real-world outcomes alongside industry partners and to support broader optimisation challenges across infrastructure and resource systems.

The role is research-focused and includes contributing to project development, research translation, and the preparation of funding applications. It also includes responsibilities for supporting the supervision and development of Honours and Higher Degree by Research students, as well as contributing to the wider academic community through service, collaboration, and engagement with industry, government, professional bodies, and the broader community.

The position is linked to Dr Nadja Kunz, who is the listed contact for further information. The advertisement highlights an interdisciplinary environment, access to UQ research support and facilities, and a setting where collaboration across disciplines and with external stakeholders is encouraged.
