This work requires background knowledge in computational mechanics and, preferably, structural optimisation. The project will involve collaboration with researchers in robotics at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency.

Key responsibilities include: • Undertaking original research in computational mechanics and structural optimisation. • Interpreting the computational mathematics and engineering literature to guide the development of the project. • Collaborating with project partners at CSIRO to progress engineering applications and prototypes. • Disseminating research through high quality journal publications in engineering and computational mathematics, as well as through conference presentations. • Assisting in the supervision of research students at undergraduate level. At Level B, assisting in the supervision of research students at postgraduate level. • At Level B, contributing to strategic planning of the research project. • There may an opportunity to teach mathematics and/or statistics units in the school. • Implementing and administering University policy within the Faculty with respect to equitable access to education and workplace health and safety.
