The Opportunity

Expressions of interest are sought from outstanding domestic and international candidates for PhD study within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), Faculty of Engineering, Monash University.

This PhD project will contribute to MSE’s strategic research initiative on accelerating Australian green ironmaking, addressing critical challenges in the transition to sustainable metallurgical processes. The successful candidate will develop a fundamental scientific framework to tackle key research questions in the Australian context, including impurity management, microstructure evolution, ore processing, and the development of green ironmaking infrastructure.

Monash University hosts a unique suite of green ironmaking characterisation facilities, offering exceptional opportunities to perform in-situ and high-resolution materials analysis. Leveraging these state-of-the-art research capabilities, the candidate will conduct ...
