About this position

Postdoctoral Research Fellow – GETCO2 Centre of Excellence at Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn, Melbourne, Australia.

This is a full-time postdoctoral opportunity in the Computation and Characterisation Theme of the GETCO2 Centre of Excellence, working across a network of partner universities and ANSTO. The project focuses on catalysis, electrochemistry, materials characterisation, and the development of advanced in situ and operando techniques to investigate catalytic processes. A key part of the role is designing and optimising electrochemical cells for catalyst characterisation and electrolyser research.

Successful applicants will plan and conduct experiments, analyse complex datasets, troubleshoot experimental setups, and contribute to research publications, conference presentations, and Centre reporting. The position also involves collaboration with researchers across multiple institutions, participation in the Victorian research community, and support for students and early-career researchers.

Academic interests and keywords: catalysis, electrochemistry, materials science, spectroscopy, analytical chemistry, computational chemistry, scientific programming, Python, and in situ/operando electrochemical systems.

Eligibility highlights: strong experimental research experience; a solid publication and conference record; excellent scientific communication; ability to work collaboratively across disciplines; knowledge of chemistry and analytical methods; and practical experience with in situ or operando systems. Python data-analysis skills are specifically mentioned. Experience in large collaborative research centres is an advantage.

Funding and employment: this is a paid full-time research staff role. The advertisement highlights 17% superannuation, salary packaging, flexible working arrangements, hybrid working, and staff discounts. No fellowship stipend amount is provided in the excerpt.

Application window: applications close Sunday 22 November 2026 at 11:00 pm.
