About the Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Research Officer to work between two teams with complementary expertise in biomass conversion and electrochemical conversion of CO2 and high-performance membrane materials.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop a research program focused on exploring the environmental, social, and economic impacts of electrochemical CO2 conversion on process operation, facility integration, and net-zero emissions pathways.
  • Produce quality research outputs by publishing or exhibiting in high-quality outlets, following discipline norms.
  • Participate in applications for competitive research funding to support projects and activities.
  • Collaborate with colleagues in developing joint research projects and funding applications.
  • Contribute to knowledge transfer and commercialization of UQ intellectual property through translation to research end users.
Supervision and Researcher Development
  • Contribute to the supervision of Honours and Higher Degree by Research students, ensuring personal effectiveness in supervision and researcher development.
  • Manage research support staff effectively throughout the employee lifecycle, in accordance with University policy and procedures.
  • Address conflicts and grievances promptly, following University policies and procedures.
Citizenship and Service
  • Demonstrate citizenship behaviours aligned with UQ values, showing leadership through collaboration and active participation in key activities for the Centre of Excellence and School of Chemical Engineering.
  • Provide support to academic positions and unit operations during team members' absences and contribute to internal service roles, decision-making, and relevant committees.
  • Collaborate in external service activities and begin developing partnerships with industry, government, professional bodies, and the wider community.
Teaching
  • Where undergraduate teaching is undertaken, achieve teaching quality as indicated by approved surveys and outcomes for students and improve or innovate where appropriate in response to feedback.

This is a research-focused position. Further information can be found on the University of Queensland's website.

As part of the UQ community, you will have the opportunity to work alongside the brightest minds, who have joined us from all over the world, and within an environment where interdisciplinary collaborations are encouraged.

At the core of our teaching remains our students, and their experience with us sets a foundation for success far beyond graduation. UQ has made a commitment to making education opportunities available for all Queenslanders, regardless of personal, financial, or geographical barriers.

As part of our commitment to excellence in research and professional practice in academic contexts, we are proud to provide our staff with access to world-class facilities and equipment, grant writing support, greater research funding opportunities, and other forms of staff support and development.

The benefits of joining the UQ community are broad: from being part of a university to recognition of prior service with other Australian universities, up to 26 weeks of paid parental leave, 17.5% annual leave loading, flexible working arrangements, and genuine career progression opportunities via the academic promotions process.
