---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Two 3-year postdoctoral positions in Plasma Nanoscience at CSIRO, Australia (Deadline 18 July 2008) The newly established Plasma Nanoscience Centre Australia based at CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering, Lindfield (Sydney), NSW, AUSTRALIA is now recruiting three highly-productive, ambitious researchers (2 Post doctoral fellows are among them) with a range of complementary experimental, theoretical, and computational skills to contribute to the project led by CEO Science Leader Professor Kostya (Ken) Ostrikov on plasma-aided fabrication of structural and functional nanomaterials, nanostructures, and nanoscale assemblies. The research programme will involve close interaction with the group led by Professor A. B. Murphy and other researchers at CMSE and other divisions of CSIRO. You will be participating in cutting-edge multidisciplinary research aimed at finding the most effective plasma-related controls and developing advanced and versatile fabrication approaches, processes and tools for the production of next-generation nanomaterials. This research will involve a large-scale international collaboration and is expected to result in a large number of publications in high-impact international journals. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the plasma - aided nanofabrication techniques and approaches (see, e.g., K. Ostrikov and A. B. Murphy, J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys., v. 40, p.2223, 2007; K. Ostrikov, Rev. Mod. Phys. v. 77, p. 489, 2007, and K.Ostrikov and S. Xu, Plasma-Aided Nanofabrication: from Plasma Sources to Nanoassembly, Wiley-VCH, 2007), that will be used in this project. The positions are initially for 3 years with the possibility of further fixed-term extension(s) for up to another 2 years and even longer, subject to funds availability, performance and need. Outstanding performers may be offered permanent positions at the end of their fixed-term appointments. Salary and pension fund contributions (superannuation) are very competitive internationally.
