About this position

Adelaide University is advertising a three-year Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in Structural Engineering and Composite Materials/Structures within the School of Civil Engineering and Construction Management.

The project focuses on advanced fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for structural engineering applications, including durability assessment and sustainable infrastructure systems. The successful candidate will work with Professor Scott Smith and Dr Tafsirojjaman (Tafsir), contributing to a collaborative research team and supporting HDR/PhD students.

This opportunity is especially relevant for researchers with experience in civil engineering, structural engineering, materials science, experimental testing, analytical modelling, numerical studies, and long-term performance evaluation of composite structures. The role includes project delivery, coordination of day-to-day research activities, liaison with an industry partner, and contribution to journal articles and grant applications.

Eligibility highlights include a PhD in Civil Engineering specialising in Structural Engineering, a strong publication or project record in FRP composites, and demonstrated ability in experimental and/or numerical/analytical research. Experience with FRP characterisation, full-scale structural testing, durability, service life, and carbon footprint evaluation is preferred.

The position is based at City East Campus, Adelaide University, and is a part-time 0.75 FTE fixed-term appointment. Funding is available for approximately 3 years, with salary at Level A, Step 6 ($102,024 per annum pro-rata) plus 17% superannuation.

Applications close on 16 July 2026 at 11:30pm. Applicants should click Apply Now and submit a CV, cover letter, and written response to the six selection criteria.

Funding details

Three-year postdoctoral research position, part-time (0.75 FTE), fixed-term. Salary is Level A, Step 6 at $102,024 per annum pro-rata plus 17% superannuation. Funding is available for approximately 3 years.

What's required

A PhD in Civil Engineering specialising in Structural Engineering is required. Applicants should have a track record of publications and/or project experience in FRP composites for structural applications, proven contribution to experimental and/or numerical/analytical studies on structural behaviour, and research outputs related to durability, long-term performance, or sustainability of construction materials including carbon footprint. Strong skills are expected in FRP material characterisation, design/material development/full-scale structural testing, environmental durability assessment, service life evaluation, and the ability to supervise and motivate students. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, ability to work independently and collaboratively, and willingness to engage with university and industry partners are required.
