CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Turbulent Multiphase Transport

The Opportunity
  • Are you a motivated, early career scientist with interest in advancing the science of multiphase flow?
  • Can you conduct innovative and independent research in fluid dynamics, rheology or a related area?
  • Join CSIRO - Australia's premier science and technology research organisation

 

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years relevant postdoctoral work experience.  These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

Predictive modelling of suspended particle transport has wide industrial application. Current modelling relies on empirical correlation and recalibration as conditions change. This postdoctoral position will undertake a project to advance the science of multiphase flow through fundamental modelling and state of the art measurements.

Your duties will include:

Under the direction of senior research scientists and engineers, CERC Postdoctoral Fellows:

  • Carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific outcomes.
  • Conduct laboratory-based research in fluid flow, occasioning liaison with laboratory technicians
  • Publish in scientific journals and present at conferences relevant to the field on behalf of CSIRO
  • Recognise and exploit opportunities for innovation and the generation of new theoretical perspectives, and progress opportunities for the further development or creation of new lines of research
  • Utilise design thinking methodology to plan and prepare research proposals, and apply non-academic impact methodology to research projects

Location: Clayton, VIC
Salary: AU$86k - AU$94k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Specified term of 3 years
Reference: 67779

To be considered you will need:
