Positions Available

Postdoctoral Research associate/research fellow – experimental guided wave optics and optical communication (up to 2 positions)

REFERENCE NO. 099/0112

CUDOS, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems, has been funded for seven years commencing 2011. We now wish to recruit two researchers at level A (Postdoctoral Research Associate) or level B (Research Fellow) to join our program.

You must have a PhD in physics, electrical engineering or a related discipline, with excellent communication skills and the ability to work in our highly collaborative team environment. For appointment at Level B you must provide evidence of the independent research capacity associated with some demonstrated postdoctoral research experience.
You will apply your expertise to provide research support in the investigation of ways to increase the data-carrying capacity of optical networks. Specific skills and expertise necessary for each subfield, are as follows:

Experimental guided wave optics research focus

Essential skills: demonstrated expertise in experimental guided wave optics, ultrafast nonlinear optics, ultrafast lasers.
Desirable: demonstrated experimental experience in optical communication systems.

Optical communication systems research focus

Essential skills: demonstrated experimental expertise in optical communication systems and high speed transmission.
Desirable: experimental guided wave optics, ultrafast nonlinear optics, ultrafast lasers.

The positions are full-time fixed term for two years subject to the completion of a satisfactory probation period for new appointees. Further offers may be available subject to performance funding and need. Membership of a University approved superannuation scheme is a condition of employment for new appointees.
