The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 572 years. Today, we are one of the world's top 100 universities and ranked 13^th in the world in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Impact Rankings 2023, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world. Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.

The EPSRC UK Hub for Quantum Enabled Position Navigation and Timing (QEPNT) is one of five prestigious programmes in the UK’s flagship National Quantum Technology Programme. QEPNT will lead and support the community, ecosystem and technologies required for the UK to be a global leader in future Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) technologies and systems. Our vision is to deliver atomic clocks, quantum inertial sensors, single-photon LiDAR sensors and quantum-classical hybrid sensors that will create practical systems for resilient PNT applications. To build the UK community and ecosystem for QEPNT we will bring together experts from academia, industry and Government agencies to ensure delivery of technologies for national security, critical national infrastructure, aerospace, connected and autonomous vehicles, maritime, energy and other applications.

The Hub Manager is a key position, ensuring the smooth delivery of QEPNT.

The successful candidate will be accountable to the QEPNT Director and Project Lead for Hub delivery but will be expected to have a high degree of self-reliance and management skill. The postholder will interact with a wide range of stakeholders working collaboratively with internal and external organisations within academic, governmental and industry sectors.
