**Your new role**

Curtin University is seeking a Research Associate (post
- PhD) in the discipline of Sustainable Engineering, based at our Bentley campus in Perth, Western Australia.

The Research associate will work closely with the various programs of the HILT CRC focusing on Heavy industry carbon management in Australia including the cement/lime, iron ore/green steel and the alumina/aluminium industries.

- Desk based/lab-based research outputs
- Disseminate research findings through seminars, workshops, and conferences
- Publish/exhibit in high quality journals/outlets (often in collaboration with colleagues) in manner consistent with disciplinary practice
- Undertake principal supervision of Honours and research masters, and co-supervision of research doctoral supervision where appropriate
- Undertake administrative functions associated with research activities
- Participate in the delivery of teaching and research led educational programs
- Foster and promote relationships with professional bodies, industry and affiliated associations, government departments, and the wider community

Only applicants with work experience and an academic research background in applied sustainable engineering related research, industrial ecology research and or applied sustainability management related research are encouraged to apply.
