Two postdoctoral research associates to develop computational models based on quantum optics and photonic systems, with two different areas of expertise: theoretical quantum optics (physics), and unconventional computational models (computer science) to form a team to develop models based on current photonic hardware capabilities). Physics post.

FTE: 1 (35 hours/week)
Term: Fixed Term (18 months)

Applications are invited for one of two postdoctoral research associates to develop computational models based on quantum optics and photonic systems. The research is funded by a recently awarded grant from ARIA under the Nature Computes Better: Opportunity Seeds call. We are looking for two different areas of expertise: theoretical quantum optics (physics; this post), and unconventional computational models (computer science) to form a team to develop models based on current photonic hardware capabilities. We are looking for applicants with enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research and for trying out different approaches who will enjoy the opportunity to broaden their experience and collaboration.

The successful applicants will be based in the Department of Physics under the supervision of Prof. Viv Kendon, within the Optics Division at Strathclyde, collaborating with Prof. Susan Stepney (York Computer Science Emerita). Diverse research projects in photonics and quantum technology, including roles in four quantum technology hubs and two quantum technology CDTs, create an exciting and vibrant environment to work in at Strathclyde.

To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level in an appropriate discipline or have significant relevant experience in addition to a relevant degree. You will have sufficient breadth or depth of knowledge in quantum optics or photonics theory, and a willingness to learn more, especially in modelling experimental hardware. You will be developing your ability to conduct individual research work, to disseminate results and to prepare research proposals. You will have an ability to plan and organise your own workload effectively and an ability to work within a team environment. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade, and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences.

Whilst not essential for the role, applications are welcomed from candidates with: relevant work experience, membership of relevant Chartered/professional bodies (including the Higher Education Academy), experience of relevant student supervision and teaching activities, and/or experience of knowledge exchange related activities.

Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Professor of Quantum Technology (viv.kendon@strath.ac.uk).

Interview date will be 1st November 2024.
