There exists a prestigious and well-funded PhD scholarship for a student to undertake research on the theory of acoustic modes interacting with superconducting qubits at the University of New South Wales, Canberra, Australia. The project will be undertaken under the supervision of Dr Matt Woolley, Dr David Powell, and A/Prof Andrey Miroshnichenko. The scholarship includes a stipend of \$AU41,209 per annum for four years, a travel allowance of up to \$AU10,000 per annum, and covers all tuition fees.

The ideal candidate will have an excellent undergraduate first-class Honours degree or Master's degree in physics or engineering. They will have completed undergraduate/graduate courses in quantum physics and other relevant subject areas such as electromagnetics and/or acoustics.

There is a two-stage application process with initial expressions of interest due by July 12, 2019. Please don't hesitate to contact me for further details at m.woolley@unsw.edu.au
