Designation/Position- Postdoctoral Fellow
ARC Training Centre for Automated Manufacture of Advanced Composites, Australia invites application for postdoctoral position. Candidate having PhD in Materials, Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline can apply online.
About-One of Australia’s leading research & teaching universities. Vibrant campus life with a strong sense of community & inclusion. Enjoy a career that makes a difference by collaborating & learning from the best. At UNSW, we pride ourselves on being a workplace where the best people come to do their best work.
The ARC Training Centre for Automated Manufacture of Advanced Composites (AMAC) was recently established under the Industrial Transformation Research Program (ITRP).
Based at UNSW Sydney, AMAC is a collaboration between UNSW, ANU, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and nine industry partners. It combines world-class composites manufacturing capabilities with a high-value, industry focused research training experience to nurture and develop future innovators.
Composites research in Australia has been identified as an area of national research strength and a key component of Federal Government’s Advanced Manufacturing innovation agenda. The research organisations (UNSW Sydney, ANU & TU Munich) provide the knowledge and cutting edge capability that, through the Centre programs, will transform advanced composites manufacturing for Australian Industries.
