Great opportunity to work in a great lab with a fab team! Exciting research planned!.
I am recruiting a postdoc and possibly a PhD student to lead a new series of studies in my lab related to occupational health and safety in the heat. Experience with environmental chamber studies would be a plus but not necessary.

Great to share low-cost and sustainable alternatives to air-conditioning with primary school children (aged 7 to 11) from across NSW today! The ice towels were a fan favourite, closely followed by self-dousing! Always a pleasure disseminating the work of @HeatHealth_USYD.
