Who are we looking for?

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Shoulder Biomechanics to join School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Faculty of Health, Academic Division.

Real world impact
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 Exercise and Nutrition Sciences includes the disciplines of sports and exercise science, nutrition and dietetics, and health and physical education.

The School offers bachelor degrees in each of the discipline areas as well as postgraduate study at Masters (research), MPhil, and PhD levels.
