About the Opportunity

Contribute to research and teaching in the Aerospace and Nuclear Systems disciplines within the School of Engineering. Combine advanced research into nuclear engineering, high-temperature materials behaviour or computational high-temperature fluid heat transfer that can inform teaching of undergraduate courses within the school of engineering in the Nuclear Systems Engineering discipline and contribute to the overall research capability of the School of Engineering, through investigation of these processes in both fundamental and applied research. Provide academic leadership and subject matter expertise to support Engineering Accreditation activities, particularly in relation to the development, governance and accreditation requirements of the Nuclear Systems major.

About the School

The School of Engineering brings together a diverse and welcoming community that is motivated to seek “wicked problems”. We connect divergent thinkers, to explore and pose solutions, that cross the traditional interdisciplinary and global boundaries. We have evolved from our foundational strength in systems thinking, reaching beyond traditional engineering fields. This systems approach embraces our core strengths and is shaped around five focus areas: Aerospace, Energy, Environmental, Information & Signal Processing, and Mechatronics.

About the College

As one of the great universities of the world, ANU is driven by a culture of excellence in everything we do. Our lived experience is increasingly one of large-scale systems of people, whose actions and interactions are influenced by our digital, physical and biological environment. The ANU College of Systems and Society (CSS) hosts many of the key disciplines necessary to help us design, build, regulate and secure the future.

CSS brings together expertise in social, technical, computational, ecological and scientific systems to build a new approach to systems design and build new national capabilities in data-driven policy and business development. The work we do in the College is to strengthen our national mission and meet our unique responsibilities as Australia's national university. We will deliver on our mission by building a strong community, providing transformative educational experiences, conducting high-impact research, seeking meaningful engagement, and becoming a resilient organisation.

We welcome and openly acknowledge differences in expertise, research / education / professional focus, experience and perspective.

CSS is a vibrant and diverse community of more than three thousand students, staff, and visitors. Our College is comprised of the School of Computing, School of Cybernetics, School of Engineering, Fenner School of Environment & Society, Mathematical Sciences Institute, and the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, supported by the Professional Services Group.
