About this position

MathQuEST at the University of Technology Sydney is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the School of Computer Science and contribute to the ARC Centre of Excellence in Mathematics for Quantum Era Security & Trust. The role sits within a large, collaborative centre that connects nine Australian universities with an international network of research, industry, government and professional partners.

The appointed researcher will work on algorithms, complexity, and cryptography, with a focus on quantum computer science and mathematics. The position is embedded in the Centre’s broader mission to develop new mathematical foundations for secure technologies in the quantum era and to support interdisciplinary research that advances trust, discovery, and Australia’s sovereign capability.

The role is based in Sydney at UTS and is part of a research environment that emphasizes collaboration across institutions and with external partners. The postdoctoral researcher will automatically become a member of MathQuEST, participate in its activities, and engage with its research network. The position is supervised by Professor Youming Qiao and Professor Murray Elder, in collaboration with Chief Investigators across the Centre.

MathQuEST describes a high-quality, inclusive and collaborative research culture, with opportunities for communication development, outreach, mentoring, and engagement with society and industry. The centre also highlights flexibility and a family-friendly working environment.
