CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2D Material Quantum Emitters

• Exciting postdoctoral role for an early career researcher with a PhD in Physics, Quantum Engineering or Nanotechnology
• Work with 2D materials to produce new and innovative quantum emitters
• Join the CSIRO Manufacturing team for this cross disciplinary 3-year role

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

The Functional Nanosystems team consists of physicists and engineers using novel materials, in particular 2D materials and superconductors, to solve global challenges. This work spans membranes, biotechnology, electronics, 6G+ telecommunications and quantum systems. The team's patented processes for the synthesis and fabrication of 2D materials and superconductors has led to large- and small-scale projects with customers spanning local SMEs to large multi-nationals. The team's niche is exploring fundamental academic innovations and seeing how they can be translated for environmental, economic and social impact.

The Project will be vital in developing new quantum technologies in CSIRO. The CERC Fellow will work with 2D materials to produce new and innovative quantum emitters.  The CERC Fellow will develop 2D materials stacks (van der Waals Heterostructures) from 2D materials including graphene, black phosphorus, hexagonal-boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides. The CERC Fellow will develop nanofabrication techniques to produce and investigate electrically driven quantum emission from 2D material stacks. The CERC Fellow will design, fabricate, and optically characterise quantum emitters for applications in quantum communications.
