Research Fellow
About The Position
This fixed-term, full-time Research Fellow position offers the scope to drive original inquiry within a collaborative and well-resourced academic environment at the Clayton campus. Working within an active research group, this position will be in support of a project to develop and demonstrate micro-scale intracranial probes to sense the extremely small magnetic fields resulting from the currents flowing along nerve cells due to brain activity. The probes to be developed will utilise a quantum sensor based on optically detectable defects in diamond that are sensitive to magnetic fields.
Requirements
- PhD in Physics, Astronomy, or a closely related discipline (conferred or near completion).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills applied to experimental or theoretical research.
- Experience with relevant instrumentation, computational methods, or modelling tools specific to your subfield.
Responsibilities
- Develop and demonstrate micro-scale intracranial probes.
- Sense extremely small magnetic fields resulting from currents flowing along nerve cells due to brain activity.
- Utilize a quantum sensor based on optically detectable defects in diamond that are sensitive to magnetic fields.
