Research Associate
3 years, fixed – term full time
$76,377 - $81,985 (ALA) and 17% superannuation
Ref: 3151

Are you looking to undertake research and development in the area of computational materials science?

As Research Associate within the Computational Materials Group your primary responsibility will be to undertake leading edge molecular dynamics simulations on the iVEC petaflop supercomputer. Your research activities will focus on the ARC Discovery project “Imaging defects at atomic resolution via state-of-the-art atomic force microscopy (AFM) and petascale simulations”

Working within with the Nanochemistry Research Institute and the Department of Chemistry you will be expected with the support and guidance of more senior staff to conduct the research program outlined in the ARC project and deliver research outputs with increasing degrees of autonomy.

You need a PhD in chemistry, physics or a related discipline. Demonstrated experience in computational chemistry/materials science techniques and experience with the UNIX/Linux operating system and use of supercomputer facilities is essential.

Applications close:  5 pm, 7th April 2014

For informal enquires contact Prof Andrew Rohl: a.rohl@curtin.edu.au
