From Spill to Bloom: Investigating the Environmental Impacts of the Shoalhaven River Grain Spill
Location:
Sydney, NSW
Following the collapse of two grain silos into the Shoalhaven River, NSW DCCEEW is seeking a postgraduate researcher to investigate how this significant environmental incident affected water quality, ecosystem health and river processes. Work alongside government scientists to analyse unique environmental datasets and help generate evidence that will inform future environmental monitoring, incident response and aquatic ecosystem management.
Put your engineering skills to use designing a robust, accessible palletizer robot built entirely from common components. This project improves warehouse safety for local SMEs. By developing this cost-effective, Australian-made solution, you will help make industrial automation accessible to everyone.
Mathematical Modelling of Polymer Crosslinking Processes
Location:
Wollongong, NSW or Remote
This project seeks to build a topological model of the connectivity in a crosslinked thermosetting polymer system as means of understanding its dynamic responses to stress. It is anticipated that this deeper understanding will be a foundation for system innovation.
Development of a Rapid Biosensor for Wine Fermentation
Location:
Lilydale, VIC
Help advance next-generation tools for wine production by developing a rapid biosensor to measure yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) — a critical factor in fermentation performance and wine quality. This project combines enzymatic assay development and analytical chemistry to create practical, real-world solutions for the wine industry, with applications both in the laboratory and directly in the winery.
