• Work in a leading scientific institution with dedicated professionals
• Offering outstanding career development and professional support
• Join CSIRO - Australia's premier science and technology research organisation
CSIRO is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to take a substantive role in developing a theoretical and computational framework for modelling the formation, structure, porosity, and properties of graphene oxide nanosheets and membranes.
Specifically you will:
• Use an electronic structure simulation to determine the structure of graphene oxide nanosheets.
• Use CSIRO’s in-house package for dynamical modelling of aggregation behaviour, to explore the self-assembly of ensembles of exemplary nanosheets as a function of time, temperature, solvation conditions and concentration.
• Develop a rigorous classification system of different types of graphene oxide nanostructure, based on their conditions of formation, and ultimate properties.
• Produce high quality scientific and technical outputs including journal articles, conference papers and presentations, patents and technical reports.
• You will be mentored by senior scientists as part of CSIRO’s Postdoctoral Fellows Program which aims to train early career scientists for a research role.
Location: Parkville, Victoria
Salary: AUD$78K - $88K per annum plus up to 15.4% Superannuation
Ref No: VIC14/00370
Tenure: 2 year term
To be successful you will have:
• A PhD degree (or will shortly satisfy the requirements for a PhD degree) in computational physics, chemistry, materials science or a related discipline.
• Proficiency with Unix computing environments, and experience using high-performance supercomputing facilities to run parallel simulations.
• A strong background in computational modelling of the properties of nanoparticles, and/or nanoparticle-chemical interactions, as well as analysing and visualising results.
• Strong oral and written communication skills, including the ability to publish the results of scientific research in scientific journals.
