• Be inspired, every day
• Drive your own learning at one of the world’s top 80 universities
• Take your career in exciting, rewarding directions

Everyone needs a platform to launch a satisfying career. At Monash, we give you the space and support to take your career in all kinds of exciting new directions. You’ll have access to quality research, infrastructure and learning facilities, opportunities to collaborate internationally, as well as the grants you’ll need to publish your work. We’re a university full of energetic and enthusiastic minds, driven to challenge what’s expected, expand what we know, and learn from other inspiring, empowering thinkers.

The Opportunity

We have an exciting opportunity to be a part of the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering (Faculty of Engineering) aiming to provide high quality programs for undergraduate and research students as well as undertaking and publishing high quality research

Supporting an ARC Discovery Project, the Research Fellow is expected to build a nonequilibrium Green's functions-based model for 1. Plasmene sheets, and 2. Graphene-based carbon spacer whilst providing strong research support for modelling work associated with a joint work of Professor Malin Premaratne and Professor Wenlong Cheng.

This position will be responsible for the conduct of research under limited supervision using nonequilibrium Green`s functions and other associated quantum mechanical tools, either as a member of a team or, where appropriate, independently and the production or contribution to the production of conference and seminar papers and publications from that research. During this project’s employment, the successful candidate must write (i.e., co-author with Profesor Malin Premaratne and Professor Wenlong Cheng) at least one Physical Review paper for the nonequilibrium Green’s function-based Plasmene model and another Physical Review paper for the nonequilibrium Green's function-based carbon spacer model.

The candidate's attributes:

For your success in this role, you will require a doctoral qualification in Physics, Chemistry or Engineering with publications that contain nonequilibrium Green`s functions, preferably in Physical Review journals.

You will demonstrate proven ability to use state of the art computing resources to build computing algorithms using nonequilibrium Green`s functions. The candidate must have adequate programming knowledge in C, C++, Python, Matlab, Mathematica and Unix/Linux systems to carry out the necessary computational tasks using nonequilibrium Green`s functions.

This role is a full-time position; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.

At Monash University, we are committed to being a Child Safe organisation. Some positions at the University will require the incumbent to hold a valid Working with Children Check.

Your application must address the selection criteria. For instructions on how to apply, please refer to “How to apply for Monash Jobs”.
