Postdoctoral Fellow

Classification: ANU Academic Level A

Salary package: $87,135 - $109,369 per annum plus 17% superannuation 

Term: Full-time, Fixed term (up to 12 months)

The Position

The Postdoctoral Fellow position forms an integral part of a team to work on an exciting Australian Research Council (ARC) Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellowship program - Nanoscale-interactions making future functional materials more powerful. The project aims to develop new method that adapts the structural and chemical information at different length scales into traditional crystallography, allowing to build a precise chemistry-structure-property relation of functional materials, more generally all solid-state materials, revolutionising the material science and facilitating future materials design and development. This project is in the stage two phase, which requires a researcher to work on low dimensional materials/ultra-thin ferroelectric/magnetic films using developed methodology to facilitate new materials and devices design for emerging technology applications. It is expected that the selected candidate will collaboratively work together with crystallographers, materials chemists and physicists, electron microscopists, computational scientists, including experts in machine learning and Al.
