About this position
This Research Fellow role sits in the Department of Software Systems and Cybersecurity within Monash University’s Faculty of Information Technology. The successful candidate will join the Scalable Quantum Systems Labs, directed by Professor Muhammad Usman, and contribute to application-focused quantum algorithm development in a collaborative research environment.
The project is oriented toward practical quantum computing outcomes and aims to bridge theoretical foundations with domain-specific applications. The work explicitly includes developing innovative solutions for problems in quantum artificial intelligence, transport optimisation, and drug discovery, with collaboration across interdisciplinary teams and industry partners where relevant.
The role emphasizes designing and implementing algorithms that can be translated into deployable solutions and producing high-quality research outputs in leading venues. The position is described as being part of a world-leading research environment with international publication opportunities, industry connections, and access to a research group with experience in major national-scale quantum computing projects, including the Olympics 2032 Challenge and Australia’s National Quantum Computing Testbed.
Monash University presents the role within its broader research ecosystem at the Clayton campus and its Faculty of Information Technology, highlighting a setting that supports collaboration, infrastructure, and engagement with both academic and applied research networks.
