QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

Location

A postdoctoral research fellowship is available in the Queensland Quantum Optics Laboratory. The successful candidate will work with PhD students on the development of quantum opto-mechanical systems (QOMS) based on integrated optical microresonators. A particular focus of the position will be the development of nonlinear opto-mechanical systems using a) strong electrical actuation and intrinsic mechanical nonlinearities, and b) opto-mechanical nonlinearities from dispersive optical coupling in arrays of optical microresonators. These systems will be enable progress in fundamental problems such as the generation of non-classical mechanical states, and applications in metrology and sensing.

The University of Queensland is an international leader in quantum technology research, with a high concentration of pre-eminent researchers in the area and excellent research infrastructure.

Brisbane is a vibrant city of 2M population with access to a wonderful sub-tropical outdoors environment; including the great barrier reef, the gold and sunshine coasts, hiking, and tropical rainforests.

The position is available immediately, but flexible depending on the situation of the appointee. The ideal candidate will have a strong PhD in experimental quantum optics/photonics, and the ability to work well in a team environment. This is a full-time, fixed term appointment for up to 3 years at Research Academic Level A or Level B depending on experience. Remuneration will be in the range of $74,953 to $100,574 per annum including 17% employer superannuation.
