Research Fellow – Australian Green Ironmaking Full-time

Research Fellow – Australian Green Ironmaking

The Faculty of Engineering, within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, is seeking a standout Research Fellow to join our team. In this role, you will play a key part in supporting Australia's transition to green ironmaking by developing a quantitative framework that connects impurity content, process parameters and microstructural evolution to scalable, low-emission processing pathways. You will design and conduct laboratory experiments, apply advanced microstructural, thermodynamic and kinetic analyses, and collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team across academia and industry. This position forms part of a major national program in Australian green ironmaking and will utilise Monash's world-class analytical capabilities and pilot-scale facilities.

You are an emerging researcher with strong materials science expertise, particularly in phase transformations, who thrives in collaborative environments. You are ready to build your research profile through laboratory experimentation, advanced microstructural characterisation and thermodynamic and kinetic modelling, and you are motivated to contribute to high quality publications and to Australia's broader decarbonisation goals.
