Textile & Fibre Technology
Research Careers
The global textile and fibre industries
are on the threshold of an exciting revolution as developments
in emergent science areas such as nano-technology, intelligent
polymers and bio-mimetics are applied to textile materials
to add an entirely new dimension of functionality. The Textile
and Fibre Technology business unit of Australia's Commonwealth
Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is
seeking innovators from a range of disciplines to join a dynamic
team that is introducing these and other technologies into
its research program. We are offering career opportunities
for chemists, physicists, engineers and textile technologists.
Current and proposed research includes the development of
electronic textiles, hybrid and modified fibres, novel dyeing
technologies, composite non-woven structures, high-tech active
sportswear products and next generation protective apparel
materials. |

outgoing personalities who want to move into sales and marketing. |
Australian Graduate Survey
Graduate Careers Australia's (GCA) annual Australian Graduate Survey ( AGS ) is a study of the activities of new higher education graduates around four months after the completion of their qualifications. New graduates are surveyed regarding their major activities, including full-time study, full or part-time employment, seeking employment or their unavailability for work or study.
| RESEARCH LABORATORY
POSITIONS
Due to exciting and new developments,
this highly successful Australian owned Paint Manufacturer
seeks self motivated and enthusiastic Graduates in Chemistry
or related Science disciplines to work in its Research and
Development Facilities, including Colour and Product Development
at Footscray.
The positions involve the design, development
and testing of new and improved products for both existing
and emerging markets. You may have proven experience within
the coatings industry or are a recent Graduate, ambitious
to establish a career. Knowledge of colour matching, colour
computers and/or surface coatings would be a distinct advantage,
however not a strict prerequisite.
To be successful in either role you
must be task orientated, practical and enjoy using your initiative
to meet critical deadlines. It is essential you have excellent
written and verbal communication skills as you will interact
with a diverse range of sales, technical and marketing people.
