Currently QSciTech at MQ has 10 PhD students, some of which do a predominantly theory project, and some of which do a predominantly experimental project. Macquarie University has a very attractive international and national scholarship scheme called the Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarships . This pays for the PhD fees and gives students a yearly stipend. For 2010 we have a number of possible PhD projects to choose from. If you wish to know more information please email the individual supervisor for more information/skype discussion. Read on to see what possible PhD projects are on offer in QSciTech for 2010...

Faculty Positions

Thanks to the recent round of new faculty allocations (the University created 40 new faculty posts), the QISS group is seeking faculty in experimental quantum science.

More specifically: (from the advertising material)

Macquarie University's new Research Centre in Quantum Science and Technology (QSciTech), currently comprises of eight staff with expertise in theoretical and experimental quantum science. QSciTech  includes faculty from physics, computer science, and engineering and participates in large research projects such as the Centre for Quantum Computer Technology (Australian Research Council), Qubit Applications (European Commission), and a number of other multinational projects in quantum information science. The physics department is also host to substantial research efforts in photonics (including participation in the ARC Centre of Excellence CUDOS), astronomy and condensed matter physics.

The The University wishes to expand the experimental component of the QISS research effort and is offering two continuing posts (level B/C: Lecturer/Senior Lecturer), in experimental quantum science. Applicants with expertise in the areas of:

  • experimental quantum optics
  • quantum communications,
  • condensed matter quantum science including
    • quantum dots,
    • superconducting quantum science,
    • diamond related quantum science, or in
  • experimental quantum science using
    • trapped neutral or charged atoms,

are particularly invited to apply.

See below for a PDF of the advertisement.

To seek more information about these posts contact Professor Jason Twamley ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).

Posts will remain open until filled.
