Fixed Term contract until 30 November 2028. The position is available for an immediate start.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick.

We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to build an experiment with a magnetically levitated microdiamond towards testing the quantum nature of gravity. The appointment will be for three years with the possibility of extension as part of our five-year project supported by The Moore Foundation and the Sloan Foundation, in collaboration with Yale University, Northwestern University, UCL and Groningen University. You will work with Professor Gavin Morley and his team in Warwick. We have built magnetic levitation of micron-sized diamonds including centre-of-mass cooling, and separately, quantum control of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) spins in non-levitated microdiamonds. The microdiamonds we have developed (with Oliver Williams’ group) have the longest quantum coherence times. You will combine these two experiments to control the spin of NV centres inside magnetically levitated microdiamonds. You will build this inside of a specially commissioned cryostat. The aim is to create a spatial superposition of the diamond towards testing fundamental physics including a test of the quantum nature of gravity. You would be the day-to-day supervisor for two PhD students on this levitated microdiamond project, and support the other PhD students in the group.

Applications from underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged.

We are looking for someone with a PhD in Physics or a related field, or someone who is very close to obtaining this.

For further information about what we are looking for please see the person specification section of the attached job description.

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure.

**About the Department**
***

***

Information about our Quantum Technology Lab is available on our website.

We have built experiments with nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond including the most sensitive fibre-coupled diamond magnetometer and measurements of the longest spin coherence times in nanodiamonds or microdiamonds. We have also been working on diamond quantum computing as part of both Phase One and Phase Two of the UK Quantum Technology Hubs.

In the wider Warwick diamond community, there is expertise in diamond materials and defects including the Diamond Science and Technology Centre for Doctoral Training. In addition, Warwick Quantum is a new initiative bringing together the quantum technology research groups in the Departments of Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Maths and Chemistry as well as the Warwick Manufacturing Group.

**Department of Physics**

The post will be based in the Department of Physics, a vibrant academic department with 200 academic, research, technical and professional services staff, over 800 undergraduate students and 200 postgraduate research students.

We are proud of our diverse community of staff, students, and visitors, and are committed to maintaining an excellent record in teaching and research by ensuring that there is equality of opportunity for all, fostered in an environment of mutual respect and dignity.

We hold an Athena SWAN Silver award, a national initiative to promote gender equality for all staff and students. We are also a Juno Champion, which is an award from the Institute of Physics to recognise our efforts to address the under-representation of women in university physics and to encourage better practice for both women and men.

The University supports flexible working and requests for part-time working or job-share will be considered where possible.
