Dear Colleague,

I would be grateful if you could please forward the following announcement to those looking for postdoc positions.

The University of Sydney is now accepting applications for the Sydney Postdoctoral Research Fellowships. These are highly competitive and prestigious university-wide fellowships, with terrific salary and benefits: a 3 year appointment with a A$118,727 annual salary and a A$25,000 discretionary research fund for travel, visitors, or equipment.

Because they are so competitive, you have to arrange for a faculty sponsor before applying. If you are interested in applying and joining us in the Quantum Physics group, then read the Sydney Postdoctoral Fellowship guidelines here: http://sydney.edu.au/research_support/funding/sydney/postdoctoral_fellowship.shtml. If you are eligible and interested, please send an email to my colleague Steve Flammia (sflammia@physics.usyd.edu.au) with a cover letter that briefly describes your qualifications and a short CV. In particular, please specify how you see yourself fitting in and complementing work within the rest of the quantum researchers at Sydney.

In addition, the prestigious Professor Harry Messel Research Fellowship is open simultaneously, and is specifically targeted to female applicants.

There are a few relevant deadlines: the deadline to secure a faculty sponsor is Friday 15 May, but the actual application deadline is 29 June so there is plenty of time to finish the application. However, because of the initial deadline, we will only consider applications before *Tuesday the 12th of May*.

Regards,

Stephen
