Professor of Quantum Integrated Devices

The role

As part of the School of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering, we are excited to offer an opportunity for an academic conducting cutting-edge research in Quantum Integrated Devices to join our dynamic team. Their research will contribute to advancing this transformative field, and their teaching will play a vital role in shaping the next generation of engineers through core subjects in electronic and optical devices. This synergy not only enriches the student learning experience with insights from pioneering research but also fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, bridging the gap between emerging quantum technologies and foundational engineering principles.

The successful candidate will be aligned to Quantum Engineering Technology Labs (QET Labs) research group, known for its industry-focused research addressing real-world challenges in quantum information science and technologies.

The School is part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, which fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration and is committed to research excellence and global impact.

We are also recruiting for additional Lecturer/Senior Lecturer positions within the School; which you can search for via our careers site using the job numbers; ACAD108516 and ACAD108515

What will you be doing?

The successful applicant will also be encouraged to develop a research programme, carrying out impactful research in the field of quantum technologies as part of the wider QET Labs team. You will be expected to lead and participate in a range of research programmes, secure external research funding and collaborate with industry partners.

In addition to research, you will contribute to the development and delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching across the School of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering. This will include supervising student projects, supporting innovation in teaching methods, and engaging in cross-Faculty research initiatives. There will also be opportunities for leadership roles that will shape the strategic direction of the School’s academic and research activities

You should apply if

• You have a strong research background in quantum technology development.
• A demonstrated ability to secure research funding from industry, government bodies, or research councils is essential.
• You have a clear and innovative vision for future research that complements and enhances the existing activities of QET Labs and the Photonics and Quantum research group.
• A commitment to high-quality teaching and the ability to develop and deliver engaging education in materials engineering and structural performance are required.

We particularly welcome candidates with a collaborative research approach and strong industry networks. If you are enthusiastic about making a significant impact in both research and teaching, we encourage you to apply.
