Senior Research Associate in Nanofabrication and Quantum Device Measurement

Senior Research Associate in Nanofabrication and Quantum Device Measurement (516781)

Summary:
Conduct research in the area of silicon-based quantum computing, independently and as part of the team.

The Opportunity
The research group of Professor Andrea Morello has an opportunity for a Senior Research Associate. The group specialises in the development of quantum computing hardware based on the spin of implanted donors, integrated within a silicon nanoelectronic device. Your role will be to conduct research of an experimental nature. The research project you will be working on is aimed at the nanofabrication and electrical measurement of ion-implanted donor devices in silicon for quantum information processing. The devices will be designed and fabricated with the goal of encoding quantum information in high-spin donor atoms (e.g. Antimony-123) and integrating nuclear and electron spins in engineered nanostructures of increasing complexity.

This role will report to Scientia Professor Andrea Morello and has no direct reports.

• Salary, Level B – AUD $112,679 to $132,832 per annum + 17% superannuation
• Full time
• Fixed-term contract – 2 years
