Reference No. 015/0110
 
The School of Civil Engineering has a reputation for the quality of its graduates, for the breadth, depth and innovation in its undergraduate curriculum and for the strength of its research and postgraduate teaching programs. Major research outcomes can be found in the fields of Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Fluids Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Project Management. For more information please visit: www.civil.usyd.edu.au
 
An exciting research position for a Postdoctoral Research Associate is available in a project to understand the effects of solid solute, grain size and intermetallic structure on the strength of Mg alloys through modelling and simulation. The project is funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Design in Light Metals.
 
As the School is strengthening its research and teaching capabilities in the area of Computational Mechanics and Materials, this is an opportunity for individuals to expand on their pre-existing research findings or to start a new research career.
 
You will join the ARC CoE research team led by Dr. Luming Shen and will be required to undertake modelling and simulation tasks for understanding the strengthening mechanism of Mg Alloys and publish the outcomes in the refereed literature. Dr Luming Shen is a Certified Materials Professional (CMP) of Materials Australia and although not an essential criterion membership to Materials Australia will also be highly regarded.
 
Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate outstanding research potential or experience, with a PhD ( or significant progress towards a PhD) in Materials Science and Engineering, Computational Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Physics or a related area. Demonstrated ability to publish research outcomes in high-quality international journals with experience in molecular dynamics and/or dislocation-solute/cluster/precipitate interaction is also an essential criterion. Experience in multiscale simulation, crystal plasticity modeling, finite element method and inverse method will be highly regarded.
 
The position is full-time fixed-term for 2 years subject to completion of a satisfactory probation and confirmation period for new appointees. Further offer of up to another 3 years may be available subject to performance, funding and need. Membership of a University approved superannuation scheme is a condition of appointment.
 
Remuneration package: approximate range $70,892 - $76,098 p.a. plus leave loading and 17% employer’s contribution to superannuation .
