2 year term (with possible 1 year
extension)
Salary
range: A$74,890 (plus 15.4% superannuation)
ANSTO is one of Australia’s foremost scientific research and development organisations, focused on delivering the benefits of nuclear science to the Australian community.
The Bragg Institute is the research centre for the construction and use of neutron-scattering instrumentation at the new OPAL reactor facility, located close to Sydney. Scientists at the Institute help users of this instrumentation to solve complex research and industrial problems in many important fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials sciences, as well as pursuing their own research interests. The Energy project is one of several research programs of the Bragg Institute that is aimed at using neutron scattering to understand and direct improvements in sustainable energy materials, which include materials used for hydrogen storage and separation, batteries, and fuel cells.
We are currently seeking a PhD graduate in chemistry or materials science to join the team of researchers in the Energy project to engage in neutron scattering experiments and data analysis to characterize and understand porous materials used for CO2 separation, sequestration, and conversion. The successful candidate will have strong problem solving and communication skills, a proven publication record, and will work well within small cross-disciplinary teams to perform neutron scattering experiments in conjunction with local University collaborators.
To be eligible for appointment, applicants will require a security and
medical assessment.
