QUT is looking for 40 inspired researchers and academics to join its fold.
Australia's fastest growing research university, QUT is further expanding its research capacity, intending to attract 20 innovative research fellows across a wide range of disciplines from new fields such as medical robotics to technology, strategy and innovation to bioproducts and digital productivity.
The successful researchers will receive a QUT Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellowship.
Recognized as one of Australia's top young universities under 50 years QUT will also recruit a further 20 young academics under the early Career Academic Recruitment and Development Program.
Positions are available for early career academics across six faculties: science and engineering, law, creative industries, health, business and education.
QUT offers technology-rich, world-class precincts. The Science and Engineering Centre at Gardens Point is home to The Cube, one of the world's largest digital interactive learning and display spaces, and headquarters of the Institute for Future Environments.
The Creative Industries Precinct will offer studio, teaching and learning spaces and digital facilities among the world's best with the completion of stage two in the near future.
The Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation is a technologically advanced, multi-disciplinary facility for hundreds of QUT researchers working to solve real-world health problems.
QUT continues to break new ground across a range of research disciplines. Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellow 2010-2013 Associate Professor Mia Woodruff is playing a pivotal role in a new double masters program the university is offering in biofabrication, a remarkable research field that promises to improve the lives of cancer and other patients by enabling their bodies to regrow their own breast and bone tissue.
Professor Woodruff said her career would not be at its current stage if she had not been awarded a fellowship.
"The opportunities the Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellowship provided to me were complete independence and the benefit of establishing my own research team which has now grown to sixteen researchers," Professor Woodruff said.
