Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow

Details of the offer

We are seeking a Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow to join the School of Chemistry and Physics, Faculty of Science.
The global race to electrify our transport systems in the pursuit of reduced carbon emissions has led to a rapid increase in the deployment of lithium-ion batteries. Consequently, there is a lack of standards, regulation, and best practice available to Australian businesses and consumers to inform insurance risk for safe deployment and use of lithium-ion batteries, specifically to mitigate fire risk as well as make informed decisions around battery end-of-life considerations. The Project Fire Safety for Electric Vehicles and Micro-mobility – a best practice assessment will involve working with an international consortium of experts to assess the current global state-of-play for safe deployment, use, and storage of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicle and micro-mobility applications to generate guidance, recommendations, and best practices that will enable improved safety in Australia. QUT is at the forefront of research and innovation which transforms industry and society. We strive to find the best people to make the world a better place – and we'd love you to be a part of it. If you are an industry professional with strong experience outside tertiary education in research and development, safety, or best practice relevant to the discipline, or hold equivalent accreditation or standing we encourage you to apply.

The school conducts frontier research investigating not only the fundamental aspects of matter but also how it interacts with light, radiation, or plasma, and exploits the interaction for transformative materials research that enables real-world devices and applications.

What you need to succeed Education, training and/or experience equivalent to postgraduate qualifications, or progress towards postgraduate qualifications with extensive relevant experience.Proven ability to apply contemporary engineering design techniques, tools, and methodologies across technical projects related to battery engineering, battery management systems, battery safety, and/or fire engineering.High level analytical and problem-solving skills, with demonstrated ability to identify emerging issues, trends, and opportunities and provide insightful recommendations and advice on battery innovations.Demonstrated experience building and maintaining strategic relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.Excellent interpersonal, communication, and negotiation skills to effectively partner, influence, and collaborate at all levels to achieve successful outcomes.Demonstrated ability to contribute to a culture that is committed to continuous improvement and innovation, and to the health and safety of its staff and environment.Additional essential criteria for Level C Demonstrated track record of scholarly and professional achievement in a discipline relevant to the role.Demonstrated achievement in securing external funding in support of research and/or industry projects.Life at QUT We're committed to building a culture that fosters connection between people and purpose.
