About Monash Engineering Monash Engineering is a leading global centre for research consistently placing highly in international ranking lists. We engage with industry and other world‑leading institutes to conduct pioneering research that benefits society and changes the world around us. Our world‑class researchers are driven by a passion and commitment to leaving a more sustainable legacy for future generations.
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 high‑quality, impactful research in high‑temperature materials science, with a particular focus on phase transformations in ceramics, metals, and other solid‑state systems.
The PhD candidate will join the MSE Metallurgy and Corrosion cluster, working within a multidisciplinary team spanning theory, advanced characterisation, and computational modelling. This environment provides an excellent platform for developing expertise in materials science and contributing to Australia’s leadership in green and sustainable metallurgical innovation.
Scholarship opportunities are available for both domestic and international applicants. This is a fully funded PhD project and is open to candidates from all backgrounds. Applicants may be Australian citizens, Australian Permanent Residents, New Zealand citizens, or international candidates holding (or eligible to obtain) a valid student visa. Candidates with strong academic and research track records are particularly encouraged to apply.
Candidate Requirements Applications are invited from candidates with backgrounds in Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Solid‑State Physics, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
A strong interest in thermodynamics, kinetics, and microstructure evolution in materials under high‑temperature conditions.
The ability to conduct independent, self‑motivated research.
Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem‑solving skills.
Applicants will be considered provided they fulfil the criteria for Masters by Research & PhD admission at Monash University. Details of the relevant requirements are available at the Monash University Engineering website.
Applicants will be looked upon favourably if you:
Graduated in the top 10% of your year level.
Graduated from a well‑ranked university.
Have authored peer‑reviewed research publications.
Possess excellent written and verbal English skills.
Note: Applicants who already hold a PhD degree will not be considered.
Application Process To apply for a graduate research degree and/or scholarship at Monash Engineering please follow the steps:
Check your eligibility and complete the required application forms online.
Contact the project supervisor: Send a CV and academic transcript to Dr Yuxiang Wu (yuxiang.wu@monash.edu) to discuss the project and obtain supervisor support. Supervisor endorsement is required before submitting an Expression of Interest.
Submit an Expression of Interest once you have discussed your application with Dr Wu and confirmed his support, completing the Expression of Interest form and submitting directly to the relevant department’s administrative staff.
Obtain an invitation to apply (if after assessing your Expression of Interest the potential supervisor has the suitable resources and expertise to take you on as a graduate research student, you will be supplied with an Invitation to Apply).
All applicants are required to upload a copy of their invitation to apply with their formal application. Applications without this will not be considered.
After you have received an invitation to apply, you can then proceed to submit an application via the online application portal.
