1 month ago


Exeter, United Kingdom University of Exeter Full time

Two new full time posts are available from 1 July 2024 on a fixed term basis until 31 December 2026.

The post

The Faculty wishes to recruit two Postdoctoral Research Fellow to participate in the EPSRC EP/W028301 project “Simplifying Quantum Computing: from theory to applications” and join the group of Dr. Luca Dellantonio in the Physics department. The project aims at devising new approaches that leverage on classically efficient tools such as the Clifford group to lower the resources that are required to simulate a given physical model either on a quantum or a classical device.

This EPSRC funded post is available from 1 July 2024 until 31 December 2026 (starting and initial dates can be adjusted upon request). The successful applicants will do research in the field of applied quantum algorithms and quantum computing. We welcome the applicants with background in various research subjects, including but not limited to quantum optics, groups and algebras, machine learning etc.

The post duties will include performing research (numerical and analytical calculations), writing and publishing original scientific papers, as well as taking part in weekly group meetings. Regular participation in international conferences is planned throughout the project. We offer an opportunity to join a dynamic and rapidly developing group of scientists that work together in a constructive, positive, and inclusive environment.

About you

The successful applicants will be able to develop research objectives in the relevant areas of physics, work collaboratively, and co-supervise younger researchers. They will have excellent writing skills, desire to self-study, and will be goal-oriented. During the project, the applicants are expected to learn or improve the skills that are required to acquire independence as a researcher.

The project provides funding for participating in several conferences each year. In these conferences, the candidate will share the results of the group to an international audience, build their own network, and facilitate new collaborations with leading scientists in the relevant fields. The candidates will also be encouraged to participate in external stays at leading institutions with which the group is routinely collaborating. Interactions with other groups in Exeter is also supported. The research environment at the University of Exeter is very alive, with regular meetings for theorists at the department and social events.

Applicants will possess a PhD or equivalent qualification/experience in a related field of study and have sufficient specialist knowledge in the discipline to develop/follow research programmes and methodologies.

Please ensure you read the Job Description and Person Specification for full details of this role.

For further information please contact Luca Dellantonio, l.dellantonio@exeter.ac.uk.

Interviews are expected to take place within two weeks of the advert closing date.

The starting salary will be from £41,732 on Grade F, depending on qualifications and experience.
