About the University Of New England Australia and Fund
The University of New England (UNE) stands as a beacon of academic excellence in Australia. Established as the first Australian university outside a capital city, UNE has evolved into a public institution with approximately 22,500 higher education students.
UNE’s original and main campus in the city of Armidale provides a picturesque backdrop for a diverse range of academic pursuits. The university takes pride in its commitment to student success and offers an array of scholarships, prizes, and bursaries, totaling more than $5 million annually. Additionally, UNE allocates over $18 million to support staff and students engaged in groundbreaking research.
In the 2019 Student Experience Survey, UNE distinguished itself by recording the sixth-highest student satisfaction rating among all Australian universities. Particularly noteworthy was the university’s standing as the highest-rated public university in New South Wales, boasting an overall satisfaction rating of 83.2. While UNE may rank lower in research-based assessments of Australian universities, its dedication to fostering a positive student experience remains a hallmark of its institutional ethos.
UNE is currently inviting applications from motivated, independent, and adventurous domestic Ph.D. candidates to collaborate with Dr. Amy Moss in the School of Environmental and Rural Science. This exciting opportunity will see the selected candidate join a dynamic and diverse group of researchers, fostering an environment that encourages collaboration and outreach.
The focus of the project led by Dr. Moss is to address the dual challenges of environmental and economic burdens associated with food waste. The research aims to unlock the potential of utilizing food waste as a feed for poultry, thereby contributing to sustainable practices. The project takes a holistic approach, exploring various facets of poultry nutrition, including nutritional, health, welfare, economic, and environmental effects of food waste diets.
Anticipated outcomes from this innovative project include the development of new knowledge in poultry nutrition, with a specific focus on carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Enabling the use of food waste in poultry diets is expected to have significant economic and environmental benefits, diverting food waste from landfills and potentially resulting in economic savings exceeding $500 million.
This endeavor aligns with UNE’s commitment to impactful research that addresses real-world challenges while providing a platform for emerging scholars to contribute meaningfully to their respective fields. The University of New England, through initiatives like this, continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of academia and contributing to sustainable practices that resonate globally.
