Past placements

Gain an opportunity to create Science Education content for students across Australia.

The researcher will have the opportunity to learn a great deal of new science and engineering knowledge and techniques. The researcher will be involved in in-depth translational science, including bench experiments and animal testing. They will learn how to prioritise scientific investigations, judge the optimal extent of investigation to deliver scientifically sound progress in research and development efforts, whilst balancing cost and commercial time considerations.

The Energy Research Project will help inform the Queensland Chief Scientist and senior government policy makers of emerging trends and opportunities in energy generation, distribution and storage, including carbon abatement, renewables and alternative fuel sources, including hydrogen etc.

The researcher will help the R&D team to establish optimal sensor fabrication techniques to increase the accuracy of sensor performance, as well as the reproducibility of the sensors. These are key factors in a successful medical biosensor. This will result in the sensor achieving the performance requirements and progressing to the clinical phase.

Identify strengths from collaborations between the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS) and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) sectors in Australian research

An opportunity to work with a major national agency to assist in correcting response conflicts in a survey data set.
