Job no: 528981 Work type: Full Time Location: Sydney, NSW Categories: Post Doctoral Research Associate, Senior Research Associate
The Opportunity
The research group of Professor Andrea Morello has an opening for a postdoctoral Research Associate / Senior Research Associate. The group specialises in the development of quantum computing hardware based on the spin of implanted donors, integrated within silicon nanoelectronic devices. Your role will be to conduct research of experimental nature. The research project is aimed at the demonstration of quantum information processing with high-spin nuclei in silicon, and their integration with electron spins in engineered nanostructures. The focus of the project is the demonstration of fault-tolerant quantum operations, quantum error correction, and scalability beyond one atom.
We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in experimental quantum information processing, including on platforms other than spins in semiconductors, e.g. superconducting qubits, trapped ions, cold atoms.
This role will report to Scientia Professor Andrea Morello and has no direct reports.
