Building on its strengths as Australia's leading regional University, UniSQ's vision is to be renowned for innovation and excellence in education, student experience, research and engagement. Guided by our core values of respect, integrity and excellence, the University's Strategic Plan outlines our commitment to creating and sharing knowledge, transforming lives and solving the problems that matter to our world.The Centre for Future Materials UniSQ is seeking a Researcher with strong knowledge and skills in Carbon nanotube (CNT) and silicon carbide (SiC) materials, sensor design and micro/nanofabrication, to join the "Developing Quantum and Advanced Wearable Sensor Technology for Injury Prevention in Youth Athletes" project.In partnership between the University of Southern Queensland, the University of Technology Sydney, and Bremer State High School, this project is funded by the Queensland Department of Environment, Science, and Innovation under the Quantum 2032 Challenge Program. As the Youth athletes represent the future medal hopes for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, to help these young athletes reach their full sporting potential, it is essential to prioritise injury prevention. Our project aims to develop advanced semiconductor-based wearable sensors to measure forces and joint angles with ultrahigh sensitivity. This sensor technology will be applied during functional movement screening to quantify injury risks in pre-elite youth athletes.Your primary role will be to develop advanced semiconductor-based wearable sensors to measure forces and joint angles with ultrahigh sensitivity, and apply these sensors to functional movement screening to quantify injury risks in pre-elite youth athletes.
