They present the findings in appropriate publications and at conferences.

CSIRO Manufacturing is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join the Superconductivity Team or Graphene Team at our Lindfield office in Sydney, NSW. The postdoctoral fellow will build on our in-house developed graphene thin films, solid-state electronic devices and microwave/millimetre/terahertz technologies, to explore graphene as the active material for novel electronic devices for applications in wireless communications and sensing. The postdoctoral fellow will be guided/mentored by a multidisciplinary team of CSIRO supervisors and world leaders in the relevant fields, working in a scientifically prolific environment that fosters excellence, innovation, and leadership. In addition, the fellow will be provided with a tailored training and development program as part of CSIRO’s postdoctoral program.

Your duties will include:

  • Understand the material properties of the graphene thin films synthesized at CSIRO lab.
  • Develop novel graphene-based high-frequency electronic devices.
  • Analyse device performance in the context of microwave/millimetre/terahertz (THz) technologies for wireless communication and sensing applications.
  • Undertake regular reviews of relevant literature and patents.
  • Produce high quality scientific or engineering papers for publication in quality journals, for client reports and patents.

Location:  Lindfield, Sydney NSW, Australia
Salary: $80k to $91k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Specified term of up to 3 years
