**About us**:
The aim of the project is to develop the foundations of quantum computational advantage. In particular, the aim is to gain a systematic understanding of the use of non-classical features of quantum mechanics, such as contextuality, to obtain quantum advantage in a range of computational tasks. An important theme within this is to develop the understanding of contextuality in combination with causality.

**About the role**:
This position is associated with the FoQaCiA project on Foundations of Quantum Computational Advantage. This is part of a Canada/EU Horizon project being funded by UKRI/Innovate UK under the Horizon guarantee. This is led by Professor Samson Abramsky in the Department of Computer Science at UCL.

The primary duties are:

- Conducting research within the project, in particular on the relation of non-classical features of quantum mechanics to quantum computational advantage
- Producing quality publications in leading venues

**About you**:
While the main emphasis of the project is foundational and mathematical, the development of software to explore and illustrate the ideas is also envisaged.

**What we offer**:
This is a grade 7 role:

- Grade 7 (including London Allowance)
- £38,308 - £46,155

As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below:
41 Days of holiday (including 27 days annual leave 8 bank holidays and 6 closure days)
Hybrid Final Salary Pension Scheme
Cycle to work scheme and season ticket loan
