Salary package: $89,313 - $112,103 per annum plus 17% superannuation
Term: Full time, Fixed Term (up to March 2028)
The Position
The Postdoctoral Fellow will contribute to a project funded under the DARPA Heterogeneous Architectures for Quantum Computing (HARQ) program, "A memory-enabled linear optics quantum processor", with Principal Investigator A/Prof Rose Ahlefeldt. The project goal is to build and demonstrate a multifunctional device, using erbium-based crystals, capable of all telecom optical quantum state generation, storage, and processing operations required for a quantum-teleportation-based interconnect between quantum computers.
The Person
To excel in this role, you will be a motivated experimental problem-solver, with:
* A PhD (or awarding of a PhD within six months of appointment commencement) in experimental optical, solid state, or quantum physics.
* Experience with low temperature measurements in cryogenic systems, or single-photon-level optical measurements (continuous or discrete variable).
* A solid motivation to work with a cooperative team to deliver project milestones throughout the project duration.
* Demonstrated ability to foster respectful, inclusive, and collaborative environments.
College
The ANU College of Science and Medicine encompasses the disciplines of Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Environment and Society, Mathematics, Physics, and Science Communication and is also home to a number of cross-disciplinary and specialist Institutes and Centres. Staff and students within the ANU College of Science and Medicine conduct research and deliver a research-led education program that encompasses the breadth of the sciences, supported by extensive international networks and by world-class facilities.
Application information
* A statement addressing the selection criteria.
* Other documents, if required.
* Applications which do not address the selection criteria may not be considered for the position.
