Full time
Flexible work arrangements and on-campus childcare facilities Excellent employer superannuation contributions Support network and mentoring program for early career academics The Area
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics (Dark Matter Centre) brings together six Australian and eight leading international universities as well as four Australian and global research organizations to deliver breakthroughs in our understanding of the Universe through the pursuit of the discovery of dark matter particles, with dark matter comprising 80% of the mass of the universe. The Centre has received $35 million funding from the Australian Research Council to operate from 2020-2027.
The Dark Matter Centre (CDM) assembles for the first time a strong and diverse team of physicists from particle, nuclear, and quantum physics as well as particle astrophysics. It will deliver high-profile experiments using cutting-edge technologies. The Centre will exploit the unique geographical location of the first underground physics laboratory in the Southern Hemisphere. The ultra-sensitive detectors and ultra-low radiation techniques will translate into a broad range of industrial applications.
As a Centre, we strongly believe that diversity improves ideas and innovation and leads to better outcomes and productivity. Diversity and fostering a culture of inclusiveness will be a key contributor to the scientific excellence of CDM. Along with other initiatives, we will provide carer grants to support our centre members with caring/family responsibilities to participate in professional activities.
CDM aims to develop a multidisciplinary, dynamic, interactive, and collaborative culture fostering future research leaders who thrive in academic excellence and are equipped with strong transferable skills. The centre will also offer a mentoring program for early career researchers while providing opportunities to hone other skills such as outreach, industry engagement, and building international networks.
