**The Area**

The ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) brings together five Australian universities and 13 leading international universities as well as Australian and global companies to create entirely new optics-based technologies with enormous market potential. The Centre has received $34.9 million funding from the Australian Research Council to operate from 2020-2027.

TMOS will develop the next-generation of miniaturised optical systems with functionalities beyond what is conceivable today. By harnessing the disruptive concept of meta-optics, the Centre will overcome complex challenges in light generation, manipulation and detection at the nanoscale. The Centre brings together a trans-disciplinary team of world-leaders in science, technology and engineering to deliver scientific innovations in optical systems for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

As a Centre, we strongly believe that diversity improves ideas and innovation and leads to better outcomes and productivity. Diversity and fostering a culture of inclusiveness will be a key contributor to the scientific excellence of TMOS. Along with other initiatives, we will provide carer grants to support our centre members with caring / family responsibilities to participate in professional activities.

TMOS aims to develop a multidisciplinary, dynamic, interactive and collaborative culture fostering future research leaders who thrive in academic excellence and are equipped with strong transferable skills. The centre will also offer a mentoring program for early career researchers while providing opportunities to hone other skills such as outreach, industry engagement, and building international networks.

The Postdoctoral/Research Fellow will be based at the Research School of Physics (RSPhys), in the department of Electronic and Materials Engineering.

**The Position**

The Postdoctoral/Research Fellow is expected to undertake work in all three areas of academic activity - research, education and service (including outreach). The research activity must contribute directly to the research programs/themes of TMOS. The Postdoctoral/Research Fellow may also be required to supervise or assist in the supervision of students, and contribute cooperatively to the overall intellectual life of the School, College and University.

**The Person**

To excel in this role the Postdoctoral/Research Fellow will have evidence of the ability to articulate and prosecute innovative research in one or more of the fields of:

- epitaxial growth of novel compound semiconductors nanostructures
- nanoscale semiconductor lasers and light emitters
- nanoscale semiconductor sensors, photodetectors and photovoltaics
- nanoscale semiconductor material and device characterisation: advanced spectroscopy and imaging

Please refer to the position description for further details.

The Australian National University is a world-leading institution and provides a range of lifestyle, financial and non-financial rewards and programs to support staff in maintaining a healthy work/life balance whilst encouraging success in reaching their full career potential.
