Research Fellow (Carbon Materials Enhanced Concrete) Full-time

Research Fellow Position

Established in 2010, the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N) is a pan-university research institute that focuses on systems-level research for tropical megacities. It performs translational research that covers the energy value chain from generation to innovative end-use solutions, motivated by industrialisation and deployment. ERI@N has multiple Interdisciplinary Research Programmes which focus on translational Research, Development & Deployment which focus on specific area of the energy value chain, and a number of Living labs and Testbeds which facilitate large scale technology deployment enabling validation and demonstration of real-world applications.

We are looking for a Research Fellow to work on smart solid carbon sequestered concrete materials. The role will focus on research and development of new materials related to the project.

Key Responsibilities:

• The RF will be responsible for new carbon materials enhanced concrete development (e.g. via incorporation of various carbon materials where they are not only securely stored but also enhance concrete property in different ways, such as conductive concrete, structural battery, supercapacitor, smart device like energy harvester, sensor, etc.);
• The RF will also be in charge of testing of all relevant aspects of advanced concrete material developed;
• The RF will also be conducting cost-benefit and LCA analysis of the material developed

Job Requirements:

• Need to have a PhD degree from a renowned university in material science, civil, chemical engineering or related fields.
• Extensive knowledge on carbon material enhanced concrete/geopolymer material
• Familiar with relevant analytical and experimental technique/skills, hands-on experience as well as solid theoretical background; excellent paper/report writing skills

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
