Research Fellow in Integrated Circuits Development for Space and Defence
About the Role
The role is to work on the development of Integrated Circuits in CMOS technology for high radiation environment applications. The candidate will be integrated in a collaboration composed of the Defence Technology and Science Group (DST), Swinburne University of Technology and the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics.
The School of Physics is the Central node of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Dark Matter Particle Physics which will host the Research Fellow. The incumbent will be based in Melbourne, at times being required to travel to collaborating institutions and work under the supervision of the Chief Investigator. Specifically, extended research visiting at the University of Milan and INFN in Italy will be required.
In a typical week at work, you may:
design-test of Digital and Analog Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chips.
work on the development of ASIC characterization systems including FPGA firmware development and Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) design
prepare research progress reports
undertake internationally competitive research leading to journal publications in electronics and instrumentation
assist and actively contribute, under the guidance of Senior Academics, to the preparation of research proposal submissions to external funding bodies.
deliver conference and workshop presentations of research findings.
About You
A confident communicator with strong attention to detail and ability to take initiative and work flexibly in a changing environment. A natural rapport builder, you will have the ability to work co-operatively and positively in a multi-disciplinary research-based team environment and liaise with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and have the desire to build an academic research career trajectory.
Due to the collaboration with the Department of Defence the candidate will need to be an Australian Citizen or an Australian Permanent Resident.
Ideally, you will further have:
PhD or equivalent in Electronics, Microelectronics, Physics, Computer Science and other relevant areas
Experience in Digital and Analog Electronics, Firmware development, Instrumentations for science application
Strong publication record relative to opportunity in appropriate research area
Demonstrated ability to prepare research reports and manuscripts for publication.
