Postdoc and PhD positions at the Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology

QCCT_H_RGB

The Australian Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation & Communication Technology is the world’s largest team working to develop a scalable spin based quantum computing architecture in silicon. Headquartered in Sydney, the Centre is renowned internationally for its pioneering research in atomic manipulation, atomic electronics, and high frequency cryogenic control of qubits in silicon. The Centre is expanding and offering two unique research associate positions and two PhD scholarships.

2 Postdoctoral Research Associates(Salary Level: approx. AUD A$94K – A$131K per year (plus 17% employer superannuation and leave loading)

Postdoctoral Research Associate: Silicon Quantum Computation REF: 10634 This prestigious research position will provide an ambitious experimental scientist with a globally unique opportunity to design, characterize and measure multi-qubit devices relevant to the development of a silicon-based quantum computer. The research will investigate the controlled coupling of multi-qubit devices, and the coherent transport of quantum information. Experiments will involve the configuration and operation of high-frequency electronics compatible with cryogenic measurements. Applications are only received via our website: http://www.jobs.unsw.edu.au/postdoctoral-research-associate-silicon-quantum-computation

Postdoctoral Research Associate: Atomic Electronics REF: 10633 – Applications are sought from technically talented candidates with an ambition to create atomic-scale devices in silicon or germanium via high resolution STM-lithography and advanced semiconductor clean-room processing. Candidates should be ready to join a focused team to design, pattern and fabricate 3D devices where the active component is a single atom.  Applications are only received via our website: http://www.jobs.unsw.edu.au/postdoctoral-research-associate-atomic-electronics

In addition to an outstanding academic record, candidates should possess enthusiasm, ambition, and cultural sensibilities to contribute as part of a vibrant team. These are full-time contract positions for two years and extendable to three years by mutual agreement.  Applicants should systematically address the selection criteria.

Applications close: 15 April 2015

2 PhD Scholarships, Silicon Quantum Computation and Atomic ElectronicsPhD student: Silicon Quantum Computation We seek outstanding and enthusiastic PhD candidates to work (1) in multi-qubit silicon-based quantum computation with ESR control and (2) to develop and electrically characterize a novel quantum integrated circuit chip based on atomically precise three dimensional architectures. Candidates will learn the latest techniques in our internationally unique atomic manipulation program in how to make and measure devices with atomic-scale precision using low noise, high frequency electrical measurements at cryogenic temperatures.

Applications close:      30 June 2015 or until position filled
