Our people

As a whole our 65 academic staff who come from a range of cultural backgrounds have more than a thousand years of research and teaching experience in diverse areas from molecular biology to astrophysics.

Collectively they produce around 120 journal publications per year and attract almost $10m in research income and train over 100 research students and 600 undergraduates at any one time. Our staff are dedicated, imaginative and creative, addressing the key questions of tomorrow, particularly food, water, energy and climate security. They respond to, and anticipate, local national and international needs for new knowledge.
