It performs translational research that covers the energy value chain from generation to innovative end-use solutions, motivated by industrialisation and deployment. has multiple Interdisciplinary Research Programmes which focus on translational Research, Development & Deployment which focus on specific area of the energy value chain, and a number of Living labs and Testbeds which facilitate large scale technology deployment enabling validation and demonstration of real-world applications.For more details, please viewWe 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.**Key responsibilities:*** The RA will be responsible for new carbon materials enhanced concrete development (e.g. via incorporation of various carbon materials where they are securely stored but also enhance concrete property in different ways);* The RA will also be in charge of testing of all relevant aspects of advanced concrete material developed;* The RA will also be conducting cost-benefit and LCA analysis of the material developed.**Job Requirements:*** Extensive knowledge on carbon material enhanced concrete/geopolymer material* Need to have a Master degree in material science, civil, chemical engineering or related fields.* Familiar with relevant analytical and experimental technique/skills, hands-on experience as well as solid theoretical background; excellent paper/report writing skills.We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.Hiring Institution: NTUNTU is also home to world-class autonomous institutes – the National Institute of Education, S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Earth Observatory of Singapore, and Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering – and various leading research centres such as the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute (NEWRI) and Energy Research Institute @ NTU ( ).Ranked amongst the world's top universities by QS, NTU has also been named the world's top young university for the past seven years.
