Post-Doctoral Fellow in Superconducting Devices for Hot Quantum Measurements

This role is based in Australia. The research group of Associate Professor Jarryd Pla is seeking a Post-Doctoral Fellow to join their team. As a Post-Doctoral Fellow, you will be responsible for conducting simulations, design work, and experimental research on superconducting quantum devices. The focus will be on developing techniques to facilitate signal detection from microwave quantum technologies, particularly quantum computers, at higher temperatures. This will enable the use of more affordable refrigeration systems for these technologies. Reporting directly to Associate Professor Jarryd Pla, this role does not involve managing direct reports. The salary for this position is Level A - $110,059 to $117,718 per annum plus 17% superannuation. It is a full-time position on a fixed-term contract starting ASAP until March 2028. The location for this role is in Kensington, Sydney, Australia. UNSW is a research-intensive university known for its diverse and talented community. The School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications (EE&T) at UNSW is a prestigious institution with a long history of contributions to electrical engineering. With approximately 1300 students and 40 academic staff, the School is committed to excellence in education and research. The ideal candidate for this role should hold a PhD in Physics, Quantum Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. They should have a strong track record in operating quantum devices, especially at microwave frequencies and millikelvin temperatures. Experience in the fabrication and/or operation of superconducting quantum devices is advantageous. The candidate should also demonstrate expertise in performing microwave measurements on quantum devices and characterizing their performance. Key responsibilities include working with dilution refrigerators and variable temperature insert systems, keeping up to date with advancements in the field, conducting high-quality academic research independently, and collaborating effectively with team members and stakeholders. Strong interpersonal skills, a commitment to safety, and alignment with UNSW's values are essential for this role.
