Application closes 10 July 2017.
We invite an enthusiastic and professional fellow who will design and conduct experimental studies of dissipationless transport and non-equilibrium phenomena in ultra-cold gases of fermionic atoms. This work will contribute towards the broader understanding of the capabilities of topological matter for use in future electronics technologies. This Level A Academic position will be supervised by A/Prof. Chris Vale at Swinburne University of Technology, based in Melbourne. We are looking for:
- A PhD degree in Condensed Matter Physics, or related fields in Physics, with a sound knowledge of cold-atom experiments, atomic, quantum and optical physics
- Experience with ultracold atom experiments. Demonstrated ability to plan, design and conduct experiments successfully and safely
- Demonstrated high standard of interpersonal and communication skills including the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary environment
- Demonstrated resourcefulness, initiative and ability to meet deadlines and the ability to work with junior co-workers in a supportive and collaborative manner
- An interest in public outreach is preferable.
