Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the theory of quantum systems. This post is full time and fixed term for 3 Years.

“This project will explore theory of quantum computing and simulation relevant to setting a roadmap for ongoing experiments, as well as direct collaboration with experimental teams”.

We are advertising four positions, in the areas of:

- Adiabatic and dynamical algorithms for quantum computing and simulation
- Quantum computing with neutral atom tweezer arrays
- Out of equilibrium dynamics and quantum simulation with neutral atoms in optical lattices
- The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach. This may include lecturing, small group teaching, and tutoring of undergraduates and graduate students.

Applicants should hold a PhD, or be close to completion in physics or a related field and have a strong background in the theory of quantum computing and simulation.
