The OpportunityThe Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Monash University is seeking a Research Fellow with strong expertise in solid mechanics modelling and machine learning to join and lead a dynamic international team of early-career researchers.This exciting role is part of a cutting-edge project investigating the structural integrity of metallic alloys-including ferritic and austenitic steels, as well as nickel alloys-used in extreme environments.Key Focus Areas:You will assess fatigue, fracture, and creep behaviour of components in their as-manufactured state using industry-standard non-destructive testing (e.g. ultrasonic testing). You will also develop microstructure-informed modelling to evaluate in-service performance throughout a component's lifecycle.What We're Looking For:

Expertise in meso-scale metallic materials modelling (esp. crystal plasticity)
Familiarity with synchrotron diffraction & high-res EBSD for collaboration with key research partners
Proficiency in DAMASK, AMITEX, Abaqus & MOOSE
Experience with MTEX & DREAM3D (advantageous)
Application of machine learning (e.g. Gaussian Process) for surrogate modelling & uncertainty quantification

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to an internationally recognised research program and shape the future of materials modelling and mechanical engineering.
