Research Fellow

Classification: Academic Level B

Term: Full time, Continuing (contingent funding), funded for 24 months 

• Conduct high-quality original research into the synthesis and testing of hydrogen storage materials based on gas hydrates
• Project requires specialist skills in hydrogen storage materials synthesis, characterisation, testing and development
• Research will contribute to practical sustainable energy storage solutions
• Ample opportunities for international and industrial collaboration 

About the opportunity

This position is a fixed term appointment for a period of 2 years to contribute to research into hydrogen storage materials. 

Applications are particularly invited from researchers who undertake high impact collaborative and cross-disciplinary research, and whose interests/expertise contribute to the activity cluster, School, and College.

About the College 

The ANU by 2025 Strategic Plan calls for the University to serve society through transformational research and education. As one of the great universities of the world, ANU is driven by a culture of excellence in everything we do. Our lived experience is increasingly one of large-scale systems of people, whose actions and interactions are influenced by our digital, physical and biological environment. The ANU College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics (CECC) hosts three of the key disciplines necessary to help us design, build, regulate and secure the future. 

CECC brings together expertise in social, technical, computational, ecological and scientific systems to build a new approach to systems design and build new national capabilities in data-driven policy and business development. The work we do in the College directly supports one of the four pillars of ANU by 2025: to strengthen our national mission and meet our unique responsibilities as Australia’s national university. We will deliver on our mission by building a strong community, providing transformative educational experiences, conducting high-impact research, seeking meaningful engagement, and becoming a resilient organisation post COVID-19. 

We welcome and openly acknowledge differences in expertise, research/education/professional focus, experience and perspective. 

CECC is a vibrant and diverse community of more than three thousand students, staff, and visitors. Our College comprises three schools: the School of Computing, School of Cybernetics, and School of Engineering, supported by the Professional Services Group. 

The School of Engineering brings together a diverse and welcoming community that is motivated to seek “wicked problems”. We connect divergent thinkers, to explore and pose solutions, that cross the traditional interdisciplinary and global boundaries. We have evolved from our foundational strength in systems thinking, reaching beyond traditional engineering fields. This systems approach embraces our core strengths and is shaped around four focus areas: Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Mechatronics. Join us in our fundamental quest of discovery and passionate pursuit of knowledge that goes beyond our lived world.
