**Who are we looking for?**

We are seeking a Lecturer (Microbial Biotechnology) to join School of Biology and Environmental Science, Faculty of Science, Academic Division.

We’re offering this role as a hybrid position as part of QUT’s commitment to embracing the opportunities created by a more virtual and connected world.

**Real world impact**

QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a 'real world' focus. We are an ambitious and collaborative institution that seeks to equip our students and graduates with the skills they will need in an increasingly disrupted and challenged world.

**About the area**

The School brings together multidisciplinary research teams to address global challenges, ranging from food security to climate change. We work across all levels of complexity, from genes to whole organisms, and in natural to modified ecosystems.

Examples of our research aims are to:

- significantly contribute to the advancement of food production,
- develop more resilient and nutritional crops,
- understand groundwater-soil-vegetation interactions,
- treat plant and animal diseases, and
- prevent and control pests and invasive species.

The School has an outstanding record of producing impactful pure and applied research outcomes, with ERA ratings for fields of research in both Environmental and Biological Sciences either at or well above world standard (ERA 2018). We are a partner of choice for research and innovation at federal, state and regional government levels, and with industry, communities and end-users.

Our researchers currently play a leadership role in the Australian Research Council’s (ARC) Industrial Transformation Research Centre for Fruit Fly Biosecurity Innovation and two ARC Centre’s of Excellence - Synthetic Biology and Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture. School members have leadership roles and are affiliated with a number of University Research Centres including the Centre for Agriculture and the Bioeconomy, Centre for Data Science and the Centre for Climate, Environment and Sustainability.

Mindful of the way in which science and engineering must be done in the 21st century, the school creates an environment where issues can be discussed, researched and resolved in a way that attends to competing priorities. Our courses in science and engineering reflect this approach as we seek to provide students with learning experiences appropriate to real world problems..

**What you need to succeed**
- Completion of a doctoral qualification in a relevant discipline area.
- Demonstrated experience in learning and teaching, including innovative curriculum design, face to face and online delivery at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
- Demonstrated research contributions in one or more of the following areas: Industrial or Synthetic Biology, microbial systems biology, microbial ecology or genomics.
- Proven track record of high quality research, with capability to grow an independent research profile with high quality publications, research funding, and leadership.
- Demonstrated ability to develop internal and external partnerships to foster research collaborations.
- Experience in the supervision of undergraduate and higher degree research students.
