Who are we looking for?
We are seeking a Project Administration Officer to join School of Biology and Environmental Science, Faculty of Science, Academic Division.
The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture is a national research centre which is administered by UQ and has Nodes at the University of Tasmania (UTAS), Monash University, Western Sydney University (WSU) and Queensland University of Technology (QUT). This role will support the QUT Node and its researchers through the provision of high level administrative and operational support.
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.
About us
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.
The School of Biology and Environmental Science seeks to understand how microorganisms, fungi, plants, and animals – grow, sense, adapt, interact, and evolve. It studies how genes, species and ecosystems function and can be managed, conserved, and restored; and where appropriate apply this knowledge to biotechnological solutions.
Our 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. Through research, we aim 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
• 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 either at or well above world standard (ERA 2015).
We are the partner of choice for research and innovation at federal, state and regional government levels, and with industry 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 the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology. School members have leadership roles and are affiliated with a number of University research centres including the Centre for Agriculture and Bioeconomy, Centre for the Environment and Centre for a Waste-Free World.
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..
