Postdoctoral Researcher/Research Fellow – Critical Metals

4 weeks ago


Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Swinburne Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Researcher/Research Fellow to join our team at Swinburne University in a critical metals research project. The successful candidate will collaborate with researchers from Swinburne and CSIRO, as well as industry partners, to develop innovative green steel and critical metals research and development.

The project focuses on metallothermic reduction, a process that utilizes metals for extracting critical metals from ores or secondary resources without carbon emissions. This method is particularly advantageous for high-value metals sourced from secondary resources such as metal wastes, chips, and scraps.

The successful candidate will have a thorough knowledge of thermodynamic/kinetics modeling and hands-on experience with thermodynamic/thermochemical packages. They will also have the ability to design and conduct independent research projects within a broader overall team environment.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing and implementing thermodynamic models for metallothermic reduction
  • Conducting high-temperature experiments to validate model predictions
  • Collaborating with researchers from Swinburne and CSIRO to develop innovative green steel and critical metals research and development

Qualifications include a doctoral qualification in Materials Science/Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, or related areas. The successful candidate will have a strong track record of research experience and a demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary environment.
