Monash University and the University of Warwick are recruiting for PhD and postdoctoral positions in a Monash–Warwick Alliance project on atomically thin moiré materials for low-energy electronics . The project sits at the intersection of physics , materials science , and electrical engineering , with a strong emphasis on quantum and nanoscale phenomena. Research areas include moiré metamaterials , control of electronic and topological structures, tunable quantum phases such as superconducting, ferroelectric, and correlated states, machine-learning-accelerated modelling , and low-energy device prototypes built and tested using cleanroom and cryogenic platforms. The collaboration integrates materials growth, advanced microscopy and spectroscopy, nanoelectronic device fabrication, and theory/modeling across Monash and Warwick. The training environment includes six-month Monash–Warwick research secondments, access to national facilities, specialist training, workshops, seminars, and an interdisciplinary cohort spanning theory, experiment, and device engineering. Applicants should have a background in Physics or Materials Science , with interest or experience in 2D or quantum materials , nanofabrication or device physics , DFT or computational modelling, and techniques such as STM , ARPES , or cryogenic transport . Funding: PhD positions are fully funded, including stipend + tuition , for 3.5 years . Postdoctoral fellowships are available for 2–2.5 years . How to apply: Send a CV, academic transcript (for PhD applicants), and a brief research-interest statement. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
