Job Details

The Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis (CMM) and The Australian Centre for Engineered Quantum Systems 

The position will be co-located between the CMM and EQuS.

The CMM is The University of Queensland’s electron and X-ray microscopy and microanalysis core facility and the Queensland node of the National Microscopy and Microanalysis Research Network (AMMRF). The platforms goals are to facilitate and provide research excellence through a focus on providing world-class facilities matched with an equally high level of expertise thereby meeting the characterisation requirements of local and national researchers and industry. It does this via a concept of supporting discovery from user inception of experiments to publication/outcomes through excellence in consultation, training, measurement and finally analysis.  The CMM comprises 26 academic, research, technical and administrative staff supporting a diverse range of instrument platforms including electron microscopy and microanalysis, X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy and novel imaging modalities. The CMM operates on four main sites on the St Lucia campus of The University of Queensland.

EQuS is an Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence hosted by UQ. The Centre seeks to apply quantum engineering techniques to deliver new scientific insights and fundamentally new technical capabilities across a range of disciplines. A key technical focus is the development of nanofabrication and control techniques for nanoscale quantum devices. The Centre spans UQ, the University of Sydney, Macquarie University, the University of New South Wales and the University of Western Australia; with 19 chief investigators, 48 postdoctoral research fellows, 6 technical staff and more than 100 research students. 

The role

This role is initially a 0.6 FTE appointment and will become a full-time position from 1st January 2018; however flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.

The person

The successful candidate should have a PhD and/or equivalent experience in nanofabrication and characterisation. In addition they will have a sound knowledge of ebeam lithoghraphy, the design of nanoscale patterns for lithography and methods for their characterisation as well as demonstrated competency in commercial software products for EBL (e.g. Genysis Beamer Packgages) and scripting languages.
