The accelerator facility provides the successful applicant with an exciting opportunity to further develop their career in an environment that offers internationally unique capabilities together with training and research support for national and international research teams covering a diverse range of research interests and fields including quantum science and quantum technologies and related advanced manufacturing materials and device development, mining exploration and metallurgy, environmental, agricultural and health sciences and space technologies. The successful candidate will develop collaborative research links with researchers and industrial partners from a diverse range of fields both within UoM and externally, and with other universities and external industries.
Your responsibilities will include:
Undertake internationally competitive accelerator-based research leading to journal publications,
Pursue world-leading accelerator-based Physics using the unique suite of capabilities available in the Melbourne Pelletron laboratory,
Present research outcomes at national and international conferences and workshops,
Assist in the supervision and training of research students.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for a highly motivated individual who can significantly contribute to the research goals of a team while developing their own research expertise with an increasing degree of autonomy. The individual will need to be able to foster collaborative partnerships with relevant research teams and professional and industry bodies.
You will also have:
A PhD or equivalent in a relevant area of experimental physics,
Research experience/demonstrated experience in particle accelerator based scientific research,
An ability to work both independently and in collaboration with a team towards a common goal,
A demonstrated aptitude for research, with a sound publication record in relevant areas, commensurate with experience and opportunities.
Strong evidence of ability and desire to build an academic research career trajectory.
