We are looking for Research Associate (RA) to work on carbon enhanced concrete materials. The role will focus on research and development of new materials related to the project.

Key Responsibilities:

The RA will be responsible for new carbon materials enhanced concrete development (e.g. via incorporation of various carbon materials where they are securely stored but also enhance concrete property in different ways); The RA will also be in charge of testing of all relevant aspects of advanced concrete material developed; The RA will also be conducting cost-benefit and LCA analysis of the material developed. The appointee will conduct research on carbon material enhanced concretes with various forms of carbon. The developed materials must be demonstrated in suitable large-scale applications.

Job Requirements:

The candidate must graduate with Master Degree from a reputable university in material science, civil, chemical engineering or related fields with relevant research experience/expertise and strong journal publication record. Prior experience on similar research and strong record of journal publication and/or IP generation will be favourably reviewed. The candidate should have relevant experiment skills such as nano and/or microstructural based material tailoring, novel and sustainable concrete development, geopolymer or other green cement, mechanical testing, thermal and/or electrical conductivity testing, and material chemical and micro-structural analysis. The candidate can have opportunity to interact/collaborate with other colleagues within PI’s group. The topics currently are actively pursed in the group include self-healing material, self-sensing material, sustainable cementless material with regional waste/by-products, 3D printable concrete material, low carbon footprint concrete with carbon materials from different sources and their structural applications.

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.
