job description

• Materials Science and Engineering research
• Dynamic properties of alloys, advanced materials and composites
• Collaborative research within state-of-the-art facilities

The University of Sydney is Australia’s premier University with an outstanding global reputation for academic and research excellence, and employs over 7500 permanent staff supporting over 49,000 students.

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 dynamic properties of alloys and composites under high strain rates. 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 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 Hopkinson bar experiments for understanding dynamic properties of metallic materials, metal foams and composites under high strain rates and publish the outcomes in the refereed international journals.

Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate outstanding research potential or experience, with a PhD (or significant progress towards a PhD) in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Civil Engineering or a related area. Demonstrated ability to publish research outcomes in high-quality international journals with hands-on experience in Hopkinson bar experiments and finite element analysis of impact problems is also an essential criterion. Experience in advanced materials, composites, microstructure of metals, crystal plasticity modeling and fatigue/fracture will also be highly regarded.

The position is full-time fixed-term for 2.5 years subject to completion of a satisfactory probation and confirmation period for new appointees. Further offer may be available subject to performance, funding and need. Membership of a University approved superannuation scheme is a condition of appointment.
