**Who are we looking for?**
We are seeking a Research Fellow/Associate Lecturer in Igneous Petrology to join School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Faculty of Science, Academic Division.
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.
**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.
**About the area**
The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences specialises in understanding fundamental chemical and physical processes that operate across Earth’s physical spheres. As researchers and educators, it’s staff are motivated by the need to solve current global challenges such as the state of the atmosphere, greenhouse gas emissions, energy and resource sustainability, and future planetary habitability. Core research focuses on the lithosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. We investigate how these physical spheres have evolved over Earth’s history and observe through geospatial science in order to understand interactions between each sphere and all life. We are a diverse team of experts who deliver world-class education and achieve breakthroughs in research with particular focus on:
- Earth observation
- natural resources
- atmospheric composition and change
- air quality and pollution
- natural hazards
- environmental science challenges (including reef restoration and energy). future planetary habitability
**What you need to succeed**
