PhD Studentship in Cavity Optomechanics

Deadline: 15th July 2012
Destination Country: Australia
Nationality: Any

A PhD studentship is available in the Queensland Quantum Optics Laboratory, ARC Centre of Excellence in Engineered Quantum Systems (EQuS). This project will experimentally investigate macroscopic mechanical systems in the never-before-observed quantum regime. These systems have the potential to test our understanding of quantum physics and the physical world; to provide new quantum technologies applicable to advanced computing and communication systems; and to enable ultrasensitive sensing technologies.

EQuS is a newly established Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence which seeks to engineer complex, multi-component, quantum systems and apply them to fundamental problems in physics, cross-disciplinary science, and new technologies.  We have a high concentration of pre-eminent researchers in the area and excellent research infrastructure. For more information see www.equs.org/.
The position is available immediately, but flexible depending on the situation of the appointee. The ideal candidate will have a strong undergraduate academic track record, and experience in an optics or photonics research laboratory, and will be expected to apply for a scholarship to cover stipend and fees.
