Job: Postdoctoral Research Associate in Applied Quantum Computing Research
Full time fixed term for 12 months at Camperdown Campus
Opportunity to join a pioneering research program focused on digital innovation, quantum-enhanced modelling, and resilient infrastructure systems
Base Salary Level A, $117,936 - $125,896 + 17% superannuation
Working under the supervision of Professor David Levinson, Neda Madi, PhD and Chen Cai the successful candidate will contribute to the development of hybrid quantum–classical modelling approaches that support improved analysis, simulation, optimisation, and decision making under uncertainty. The role will suit a researcher with strong technical capability in quantum computing, data-driven modelling, infrastructure systems, computational optimisation, simulation, probabilistic methods, or related areas.
Your key responsibilities will be to:
conduct high-quality research in quantum-enabled computational approaches for digital twins and complex system simulations
develop, implement, test, and benchmark computational models, algorithms, data pipelines, and research software prototypes
contribute to optimisation, simulation, sampling, or uncertainty-modelling approaches for complex systems
analyse infrastructure, spatial, temporal, networked, or urban systems data
contribute to the preparation and submission of journal articles, conference papers, technical reports, and research outputscollaborate with interdisciplinary scholars across engineering, design, planning, computing, and related research domains
contribute to stakeholder engagement activities, including workshops, research presentations, and partner-facing materials
assist with the development of competitive grant applications and future external funding opportunities.
