Research Fellow
Job ID: 555592
Location: Canberra / ACT, ACT, Australia, 2601
Type: Fixed Term
Closing at: Nov 19 2024 at 23:55 AEDT
Position Description
Classification: Academic Level B
Salary package: $112,916 - $128,026 per annum plus 17% superannuation
Terms: Full time, Fixed term (up to 24 months)
The Thermal Energy Group within the School of Engineering works across multiple projects in partnership supported by Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the Heavy Industry Low-Carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre (HILT CRC). This is an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in renewable energy systems and heavy industry decarbonisation.
About the Role:
Materials Scientist/Chemist/Metallurgist:
Requires a person with a strong materials science/chemistry background to analyse hydrogen reduction a range of iron ore samples using a range of equipment spanning tube furnaces, thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry (TGA)/DSC and lab-scale fluidised bed reactors, with mass spectrometry (MS) or gas chromatography (GC) plus scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to determine reaction products and by-products and their morphology. Using the data gathered, the appointee will then develop kinetic models of the process that are applicable, so far as possible, over a wide range of temperatures and raw material compositional variations.
Experience with other applicable characterisation techniques, such as electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) or titrations, or potentially others, will be considered favourably.
Position is supported with funding from ARENA project “De-risking large-scale Australian fine-ore hydrogen ironmaking” and HILTCRC project “Prevention of sticking in H2 fluidised bed DRI production”.
