Veronica Taylor

This appointment sits within the ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Radiation Innovation (RadInnovate), an ANU-led initiative focused on building new capabilities in nuclear science and radiation by connecting core science, technology, regulation, governance and societal values. The role is based in the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) and is embedded in a centre that brings together university and industry partners on co-designed research projects. The successful candidate will conduct independent research on RadInnovate’s industry-linked projects, with particular attention to regulation and social licence. The role also involves publishing original and innovative research in top-tier refereed journals and contributing to the intellectual life of the project through all-of-centre activities and time spent in industry as part of student placements. In addition to research, the position has a strong training and mentoring dimension. The appointee will co-supervise RadInnovate Higher Degree Research students, support the interface between students and university/industry partners, and teach into postgraduate programs in regulation and governance. The centre is designed to train transdisciplinary leaders and equip Australian industries with a future-ready workforce through collaboration across academia, government and industry. RadInnovate is led by the Australian National University in partnership with the University of South Australia and the University of Adelaide, with 15 industry and government partners contributing to the research environment. The position is therefore positioned within a broad, collaborative network spanning regulation, innovation and societal responsiveness.
