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.
