Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
PhD at UNSW Sydney – Rethinking alloys for a h ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Hydrogen could play an important role in deep decarbonisation of society, but a major roadblock to the transition to hydrogen fuels is the development of H-resistant metal alloys. This project aims to develop a new strategy to mitigate hydrogen embrittlement of metal alloys by creating a sacrificial phase within the alloy that irreversibly traps hydrogen and that is microstructurally engineered not to affect the overall mechanical properties of the alloy.
We are seeking two PhD candidates to work collaboratively across four institutions (UNSW Sydney, University of Sydney, Monash University, and ANSTO). One candidate will focus on experimental techniques, using world-leading capabilities in cryo atom probe tomography and in-situ mechanical testing, while the other candidate will focus on state-of-the-art modelling method from the atomic scale to the micro scale. The students will receive a full PhD scholarship with stipend and up to $10,000/year top-up. We value diversity and encourage applications from all backgrounds to apply. A background in materials science, materials engineering or physics is welcome.
