Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Swinburne Full time
Join Our Team as a PhD Researcher in Process Metallurgy

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled PhD researcher to join our team at Swinburne University of Technology in collaboration with CSIRO. The successful candidate will work on a PhD project focused on process metallurgy, with a specific emphasis on the smelting of blackmass for the recovery of critical metals.

About the Project

The project aims to investigate the smelting behaviour of blackmass, a complex material formed during the recycling of various battery types. The research will focus on developing a high-temperature recycling process to recover valuable elements like lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, iron, aluminium, and phosphorus. The project will involve both experimental and modelling studies, with a focus on understanding the reaction mechanism and kinetics of the process.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have a Bachelor of Engineering (4 years); Bachelor of Applied Science (4 years); or Masters degree in a relevant field, such as Process/Extractive Metallurgy, Chemical/Environmental Engineering, Materials Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. You will also have a strong background in materials science and a good understanding of thermodynamics and kinetics. Proficient interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to work within a diverse team, are essential.

What We Offer

We offer a competitive stipend of $35,000 p.a. for 3 years with a possible 6-month scholarship extension. You will also have the opportunity to work with a talented team of researchers and industry partners, and contribute to the development of innovative solutions for the recycling of critical metals.

How to Apply

To apply for this position, please submit your application, including your CV, academic transcripts, and a cover letter outlining your research experience and interests. We look forward to hearing from you
