You will ensure that your team contributes to the relevant milestones in QDA, including research goals, course development, teaching, training, and industry engagement.
This is a unique opportunity to advance quantum computer algorithms and drive meaningful change in decarbonisation. You will have the chance to collaborate with top researchers and industry experts and contribute to the development of cutting-edge technologies.
In this role, you will:
* Lead or contribute to the Griffith Node of the QDA, pursuing research on the application of quantum technology to reduce climate impact
* Collaborate with researchers at other institutions and seek knowledge-sharing opportunities within the QDA
* Work with a multidisciplinary team to develop new research projects, courses, and training programs
* Contribute to the teaching activities of the School, delivering high-quality student-centered teaching and promoting active engagement in learning
Required skills and qualifications include a doctoral qualification in computer science or a relevant field, a strong track record in quantum algorithm development, and experience in teaching and supervision. You should also have demonstrated leadership and supervision skills, as well as the ability to attract external funding.
Benefits of this role include:
* A competitive salary and benefits package
* The opportunity to work on a cutting-edge research project
* Access to state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment
* Professional development opportunities, including training and conference attendance
