Work with industry on innovative biomaterials and agricultural products. Make an impact across research, sustainability and commercialisation. The role . Full Time, Fixed Term (up to 12 months). Level A - $80,046 to $108,204 pa (plus 17% superannuation). Wagga Wagga. As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, you will support an ARC Mid-Career Industry Fellowship project focused on transforming agricultural waste into low-cost, high-quality substrates and soil amendment products. You will develop controlled-release biomaterials designed to improve nutrient release and water retention for mushroom cultivation and crop growth. Working with industry partners and a multidisciplinary research team, you will plan and deliver experimental research spanning nanomaterials synthesis and characterisation, laboratory studies, plant and soil experiments, data analysis and research translation. You will contribute to publications, reports and project milestones while supporting the scale-up, commercialisation and practical application of research outcomes. About you . A PhD in materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, agricultural science, agronomy, soil science or a related discipline. Research experience in areas such as agricultural-waste valorisation, mushroom cultivation, substrate development, nutrien
