School
of Chemical Engineering
Engineering is an
international leader in the ch
emical engineering field and has an excellent
international reputation which has been built over four decades at the
University. With 35 academic staff, including 17 professors, the School
provides quality programs and leadership in chemical engineering education,
research and development, and expert consulting to support the process
industries. The School conducts undergraduate teaching in the disciplines of
chemical, biological, environmental and metallurgical engineering and teaches
into postgraduate programs in growing fields including integrated water
management and energy studies. The School’s project centered curriculum was
recently chosen in a RAE & MIT study as one of six global exemplars in
leading engineering education. UQ Chemical Engineering was ranked in the top 16
worldwide in the 2012 QS subject rankings for chemical engineering and was the
top ranking school in Australia. It was also given the highest score awarded
for chemical engineering in Australia in the recent ERA study.
The
role
The successful
appointee will develop relevant numerical modelling approaches to study and
predict key characteristics of stochastic motions and interactions between
solid particles and gas bubbles in turbulent liquid flows. The appointee will
assist in designing experimental approaches and interpreting experimental
results that validate the numerical modelling results of the particle and
bubble motions, and publish high impact papers in top journals and conference
proceedings. There are opportunities to collaborate with research teams and to
supervise honours, masters and doctoral students.
The
person
Applicants should
possess PhD in engineering or science, with a focus on numerical method
development and modelling of highly non-linear flows, knowledge in the area of
turbulent modelling and multiphase flows, and demonstrated expert knowledge in
the area of multi-scale modelling and advanced numerical methods, including
high proficiency in programming languages. They should have high level
communication skills, ability to work collaboratively with students and
colleagues, experience in writing reports and papers.
Remuneration
This is a part-time
(0.5 FTE), fixed term appointment at Academic Level A. The remuneration package
will be in the range $30,414.51 – $41,255.13 p.a., plus employer superannuation
contributions of up to 17% (total package will be in the range $35,584.97 –
$48,268.50.
