Postdoctoral Research Associate in Geotechnical
3 months ago
Job no: 498992
Work type:
Full time
Location:
Hobart
Categories:
Research Focused
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Geotechnical Engineering
- Full time fixed term position for 12 months
- Based in Hobart
The Opportunity
The position of Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) in Geotechnical Engineering is funded by a grant as part of the Natural Disaster Risk Reduction Grants Program (NDDRGP) funded by the Australian Federal Government and implemented by the Tasmanian State Emergency Services.
The collaborative project with investigators from the University of Tasmania and Mineral Resources Tasmania aims to mitigate impacts of debris flow landslides and natural hazards through numerical simulation.
Tasmania is particularly susceptible to landslide and debris flowslide events due to the State's inherent mountainous terrain and the increasing prevalence of heavy rainfall events.
Debris flows travel rapidly down slope through channels, streams and rivulets, transporting and depositing significant volumes of material when gradients flatten out.
The role will involve the development of Tasmania-specific predictive models for the purpose of identify cost-saving strategies in debris flow barrier structures.
These include the use of existing barriers combined with cost-effective solutions, including flow-limiting baffles.Key Accountabilities:
- Make an effective and sustained contribution to the University in achieving its strategic objectives and fulfilling its operational responsibilities, in this instance through the completion of research as part of the NDRRGP Debris Flow Phase II Project.
- Undertake highquality research of national and increasingly of international standing, secure external competitive and other funding where strategically useful, publish research findings and contribute to the successful supervision of research higher degree students, in order to meet and regularly exceed the University's research performance expectations for Level A.
- Undertake engaging undergraduate (and if relevant postgraduate) coursework teaching of a high quality.
- Contribute to the development and maintenance of productive and effective links inside the University and locally and nationally with the discipline, relevant interdisciplinary domains, profession, industry and/or wider community.
- Contribute to teaching and service within the School of Engineering depending on the needs of the School of Engineering.
Your Application
- A PhD or equivalent in a relevant field of geotechnical and/or water engineering.
- A good record of, and continuing commitment to, research that has achieved national recognition and made worthwhile contributions to the field of engineering and in particular landslide susceptibility, debris flow, computational flood and landslide modelling, demonstrated by a record of quality publications, presentations at conferences.
- A record of contributing to building and maintaining effective landslide and debris flowbased research projects.
- Capacity to deliver universitylevel teaching and learning in geotechnical engineering.
Remuneration
Appointment to this role will be at Academic Level A and will have a total remuneration package of up to $118,769 comprising base salary within the range of $78,499 to $101,512 plus 17% superannuation.
