Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Swinburne University of Technology Full time
About the Scholarship

Ready to shape the future of quantum technology? Swinburne University is offering an exciting PhD Scholarship opportunity for exceptional candidates eager to explore quantum technology and advanced manufacturing.

The successful candidate will join Swinburne's Dysprosium Quantum Gas Microscope Lab, collaborating with the Advanced Manufacturing team and an industry partner to develop 3D-printed ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) cells for portable quantum applications. Key responsibilities include selecting appropriate metals and manufacturing processes, producing and testing samples, and designing custom UHV cells. An industry placement is part of the role. The candidate will also actively participate in completing the quantum gas apparatus.

About the Project

The rapid progress in quantum technology is set to transform industries like communication and navigation, with cold atoms showing great promise for enhanced precision and reliability. However, ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) conditions are crucial for this potential to be realised, and traditional UHV systems' size and immobility present significant challenges. Our project tackles these issues by developing miniaturised, 3D-printed UHV chambers and components, enabling the practical deployment of cold atom-based quantum devices.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • A Bachelor's degree with Honours or a Master's degree in Physics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Meet Swinburne PhD admission requirements.
  • Must be a domestic student.
  • Background knowledge in atomic, quantum and optical physics and vacuum technologies relevant to the project.
  • Detail-oriented with the ability to maintain high standards of precision in experimental work.

About Swinburne University of Technology

Swinburne Horizon 2025 draws upon our understanding of future challenges. With this new strategic plan, we choose to build Swinburne as the prototype of a new and different university – one that is truly of Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV and cover letter addressing why you believe you are suitable for this position and official academic transcripts from all post-secondary institutions.
