About Us

The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is ambitiously pushing the boundaries of progressive thinking to solve some of the big issues of our time, on both a national and global scale. The Faculty forms part of MQ Health, an integrated academic health sciences enterprise which incorporates Macquarie University Hospital and primary and speciality clinics. We have active research programs and our Faculty hosts the Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI), an internationally acclaimed powerhouse researching health systems, e-health and patient safety. The Institute draws from the expertise of over 320 staff, students and visiting personnel working on over 120 different projects at any given time, publishing more than one peer-reviewed publication on average per day.

The Centre for Healthcare Resilience and Implementation Science (CHRIS), within AIHI, has a multi-stream program of research which focuses on delivering health system improvement by working with patients, healthcare providers and policy makers. We are methodologically sophisticated, multidisciplinary and draw on assembled and collaborative expertise in areas including health systems, policy, medicine, nursing, psychology, anthropology, sociology and complexity science. Our research underpins new models of care, fashions improved services for patients, builds better policy, provides an evidence base to guide what people do, and transforms the systems through which care is delivered.

About the team

The National Paediatric Research Translation Initiative (N-PARTI) is an Australia-wide group of researchers, clinicians, and consumers that aims to improve the health of Australian children. The project is led by Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite at the AIHI, and involves collaborators from Perth Children's Hospital, Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service, Sydney Children's Hospital, and the University of New South Wales. Other collaborators, including Primary Healthcare Networks, will join during the implementation of the project.

N-PARTI addresses three priority areas, as exemplars, to improve primary care for child health: Asthma, Type 1 Diabetes, and Antibiotic overuse. N-PARTI will conduct a series of implementation research projects to increase the amount of care provided by general practitioners that is in line with best practice guidelines for these priority areas.

Central to N-PARTI is the effective implementation of interventions to increase uptake of evidence-based care guidelines.

The Natural Resources Institute (NRI) of the University of Greenwich is part of the £24M Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein (BCSP), funded by Bezos Earth Foundation and leading the plant/algae protein platform. As part of BCSF, there is a PDRA opportunity at Medway Food Innovation Centre for 2 years (with potential opportunity to extend) to develop key scientific insights on the rheological and texture properties of plant/algae protein-based products. By 2050, the world will need to produce twice as much protein to feed its population and therefore alternative to emission intensive animal protein is gaining consumer attention. Thus, BCSP brings together top academic researchers, industrial partners and policy makers across the UK, Europe, and USA to drive alternative protein-based food innovation. Inferior taste and texture including mouthfeel are some of the biggest challenges for plant-based meat and dairy alternatives which pose a critical quality gap compared to the conventional meat and dairy and consider to be the main reason for consumer dissatisfaction. It is therefore essential to understand how different alternative protein varieties and processing methods affect the texture and mouthfeel properties of plant-based meat and dairy alternatives to improve the palatability of these novel products.

The Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich has set up the Medway Food Innovation Centre (MFIC) with state-of-the-art facility which aims to deliver step-changing research on alternative protein. The advanced food texture and rheological analysis platform is equipped with Stable Micro TA.XTPlusC Texture Analyser and advanced DHR20 Rheometer with Tribology accessories. This dedicated facility will be used by the PDRA under the direct supervision of a faculty expert to assess the texture and rheological properties of novel meat/dairy alternatives and work collaboratively with BCSP partners.

With support from the MFIC team within NRI, the appointed PDRA will have the responsibility to drive transformative research on food rheology and perform texture analysis to deliver relevant projects for BCSP. The selected candidate will lead research for BCSP on understanding the texturization process of novel plant/algal protein and develop key scientific insights on the rheological and texture properties of plant/algae protein-based products.

The PDRA will act as research lead for food texture analysis needed for projects of BCSP which includes responsibility for performing experiments, presenting results and reporting the project progress and regularly attain project meetings etc. The appointed PDRA will also have opportunity to develop bids for external grant application (e.g. UKRI/Horizon Europe etc.) which, if successful, may provide the candidate the career progression to an independent scientist position. With support from Food Processing and Innovation (FPI) research group, the PDRA will have unique opportunity to gain industry experience by engaging in collaborative projects together with food businesses who are involved within our Plant-based Food Accelerator programme.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience in food rheology and texture analysis (prior knowledge of rheology is essential) with at least PhD level background and preferably some experience of enterprise support. This includes hands on technical and operational experience of advanced rheometer (e.g. DHR20) and texture analyser with demonstrated capability in rheological data analysis for food products, texture profile analysis etc. as well as evidence of teamwork to deliver high quality multi-disciplinary research outputs
