Position overview

ANU has an international reputation for research and education relevant to the health and well-being of the population of Australia, as well as that of the developing world. This is achieved through discovery research, applied research in health service settings, research-led teaching in health and medical sciences, and the translation of research findings into practice and policy. The ANU College of Health and Medicine comprises the School of Medicine and Psychology, the John Curtin School of Medical Research and the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health. These schools work together to deliver world-class research and education across the spectrum of medicine and health-related fields, working in partnership with the health sector at local, national and international levels.  

We are seeking an experienced, outstanding research fellow to join a dynamic, motivated interdisciplinary team who are developing the next generation of living bio-adhesives. The team will benefit from the world-class facilities at the ANU and will be based across the John Curtain School of Medical Research (JCSMR) and the Research School of Chemistry (RSC)

The position is based at the John Curtin School of Medical Research and will be centred on the development of leading-edge bio-adhesives for the next generation of surgical glues. In practice, this will involve the development and application of bespoke biomaterial design, synthesis and analysis. Accordingly, we are particularly interested in applicants with significant experience in bionanomaterials synthesis, mechanical analysis of soft materials, and tissue engineering.
