The QED group continues to expand. If you are interested
in working in the group, in any of the positions below, let us know.
- Postdoctoral positions
- Postgraduate students (PhD
and MSc)
- Honours students
- Practikum and international
exchange students
- Vacation students
Postdoctoral Fellowships for
both Australian and international applicants are available through a number
of sources. These take a bit of planning, so interested applicants should
contact Prof. Hamilton at least 3 months before the deadlines.
- Australian Research Council
DECRA Fellowships are 3 year fully funded fellowships for early
career researchers. Applications for these are due in March/April each
year, with the position beginning the following calendar year. Two QED
researchers have won such early career fellowships. More details are
available here.
- Australian Research Council
Future Fellowships
are for mid-career researchers, providing 4-6 year positions with guaranteed
research support. The Australian government is creating 1,000 of these
new Fellowships over a 5 year period. Applications are due in Sept/Oct
each year, although expressions of interest are due several months beforehand.
- UNSW Vice Chancellors
Fellowships are 3 year fully funded fellowships for early career
researchers. Preference is given to non-UNSW candidates (including those
from overseas). Applications for these are due in August each year,
with the position beginning the following calendar year. See here
for more details.
Some researchers visit us for
scientific collaborations. There are exchange agreements between the Australian
Academy of Science and similar bodies in several other countries. Funding
from such agreements is possible, but takes time to organise.

We have openings for both Australian and international postgraduate
students to work on MSC and PhD projects related to our current research
in quantum semiconductor devices and organic electronics. Research
projects typically involve a mixture of experimental, theoretical,
and/or computational work. Scholarships for high achieving national
and international students are available through the Graduate
Research School.
Generous Top-ups to APA awards are available.

Contact Prof. Alex Hamilton
or Dr. Oleh Klochan
for more information or to discuss funding.

Honours-level projects will be available for motivated students.
Our honours students are always involved in active hands-on research
either in device processing and/or ultra-low temperature measurements
or both. Most Honours students present their work at national and
international conferences, and several have published research papers
based on their honours project. Contact Prof.
Alex Hamilton or Dr.
Oleh Klochanfor more information. Some of the honours
projects available are listed on the School of Physics web site.
We welcome applications from international students interested in
UNSW's exchange program.
Exchange and practikum
students
We regularly take on international exchange students who are interested
in obtaining research experience or professional/industrial practice.
See here for details
of past exchange students who have worked in our laboratories.
Interested students should contact Prof.
Alex Hamilton or Dr.
Oleh Klochan for more information, and see here for official details
of UNSW's
Practicum Program .
Vacation Scholarships
UNSW Undergraduate
students can apply for
Vacation Scholarships in the School of Physics through the UNSW
Faculty of Science Vacation Scholarship program . The best place to
start with these is to talk with prospective supervisors and Sue Hagon
in the School Office.
Undergraduates from other Australian & New Zealand universities
may also be considered. Scholarships will generally last between 6
and 10 weeks, to be negotiated between the student and their supervisor.
Australian students will also be eligible to have return travel to
Sydney paid for. Please contact us by September 30th for scholarships
