As a top 100 university in the world for engineering (2015 QS Rankings by Faculty; Engineering and Technology), RMIT Engineering provides students with work-relevant education programs, access to excellent research facilities and opportunities to engage in creative real-world project work through robust relations with local and international industry leaders. RMIT Engineerings education is based on innovation and creativity. Key discipline areas in the School of Engineering provide programs with flexible pathways to global careers or postgraduate research.
The primary objective of the position is to support the delivery of research within two projects. One supported by the ARC Training Centre on Surface Engineering for Advanced Materials and involving industry partner RUAG is investigating high-speed laser metal deposition for a range of applications. The successful candidate will conduct process modelling research in the field of additive manufacturing of metallic alloys for improved mechanical properties.
As the Research Assistant/Fellow you will focus on two projects. One supported by the ARC Training Centre on Surface Engineering for Advanced Materials and will focus on the laser deposition process and interaction between the laser beam and metallic powder particles and how these are deposited onto metallic substrates. The modelling study will complement and feed into the experimental program on the topic. The second project is funded by the Austrian Research Council (FFG) as part of its Beyond Europe program. This project will focus on prediction of microstructure and performance in wire deposited additive manufacturing of high strength Aluminium Alloys. RMIT will focus on prediction of defects and grain morphology, particularly hot tearing and porosity formation and in particular the influence of process parameters.
Note: Appointment to this position is subject to passing a Working with Children check.
