UNSW
Overview
Postdoctoral Fellow - Physics at UNSW. The School of Physics is a leading Australian physics school with a world-class undergraduate program and a postgraduate PhD research program. UNSW is an international leader in quantum computing research and hosts ARC Centres in related fields. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to contribute to the research effort of the School of Physics and UNSW, developing research expertise through defined projects in spin quantum bits, spin relaxation mechanisms and qubit coupling in p-type quantum dot devices. About The Role
Salary: $113K - $121K plus 9.5% superannuation and annual leave loading Fixed Term – 12 months Full-time (35 hours per week) The role reports to the ARC Industry Laureate Fellow & Scientia Professor Alexander Hamilton and has no direct reports. Responsibilities
Measure hole spin qubit devices at milliKelvin temperatures, develop coherent spin control techniques, and measure spin relaxation times and mechanisms. Optimise apparatus for 4K and mK testing of semiconductor quantum dot devices, using DC, EDSR, and fast gate pulse techniques. Contribute independently or as a team member in collaborative research to enhance the quality of research outcomes in the discipline. Conduct research and enable research teams to create scholarly output recognised by peers. Undertake specific research projects under the guidance of a research leader and contribute to the development of research activities. Undertake discipline-appropriate research activities, e.g., surveys, literature reviews, data gathering and recording of results using appropriate methods. Publish and contribute to publications in leading scientific journals. Present research results at national and international conferences and forums. Assist with supervision of research students where required and train PhD students in device measurement techniques. Align with the Code of Conduct and Values of UNSW. Cooperate with health and safety policies and procedures to protect the health and safety of all. About The Successful Applicant
To be successful in this role you will have: A PhD in a related discipline. Proven commitment to keeping up to date with discipline knowledge and developments. Demonstrated ability to conduct high-quality academic research with limited supervision. Record of conference presentations and publications in high-quality journals. Experience with dilution refrigerators and low-noise electrical measurement techniques. Experience with low-temperature measurements of quantum devices. Experience with spin measurement and/or RF reflectometry techniques. Ability to work effectively as part of a team and independently in a diverse research environment. Experience supervising and mentoring undergraduate or postgraduate research students. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Understanding of UNSW’s aims, objectives and values in action, with relevant policies and guidelines. Knowledge of health and safety responsibilities and commitment to relevant training. How to Apply
