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

• 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.
• The candidate must graduate with Master Degree from a reputable university 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.
