This full-time fixed term post is available within the Quantum Device Modelling group for one year finishing no later than the 31 March 2027.
You will undertake research on European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder Open project “ATYPIQUAL” to assist the Principal Investigator and project partners in the successful execution of the project. ATYPIQUAL’s main aim is to unveil a room temperature quantum technology platform based on a novel generation of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons.
You will be based at the University of Warwick and be involved in a highly interdisciplinary consortium with experimental collaborators from academia and industry including EMPA in Switzerland, TU Delft in the Netherlands, TU Dresden in Germany, and CNRS and THALES in France.
You will be expected to undertake independent and collaborative research on the theory and modelling of electronic and magnetic properties of molecular materials, quantum transport through them between electrodes, and will be expected to write up your research for publication, to deal with any management/administration matters that may arise from the project and produce and present regular project reports ensuring that the project objectives and deadlines are met. You will also be expected to co-supervise PhD and MSc students within the group and contribute to grant writings.

Flexible Working
- We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.
About You
You will have a PhD in a relevant discipline (Condensed Matter Theory, Atomistic Modelling of Materials, Computational Chemistry, Theoretical Nanoscience or a closely related field), with a strong A level (or equivalent) in Physics, Chemistry or Engineering. A track record of publication in high ranked journal(s) is essential.
You should be able to demonstrate strong computational modelling capabilities using first principle methods (e.g.: density functional theory), and expertise in quantum transport calculations and programming. Expertise in quantum transport and using machine learning algorithms for first principle calculations will be distinct advantage.
You should be able to work independently and to participate creatively in refining research directions. You are expected to present the scientific results in project meetings, at national and international conferences, and publish in high-ranked peer-reviewed journals. You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, time management and IT skills, and will be able to interact effectively with experimental collaborators.
CLOSING DEADLINE: Thursday 18 December 2025 at 11:55pm (UK Time)
