**About us**:
The London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) is an interdisciplinary enterprise between University College London, King’s College London and Imperial College London. In bringing together world-class infrastructure and leading nanotechnology research activities, the Centre aims to attain the critical mass to compete with the best facilities abroad.

QCi3 The Hub for Quantum Computing via Integrated and Interconnected Implementations (QCi3) brings together 50+ investigators across 18 universities in the UK to address key challenges in quantum computing. Its mission is to bring together academic and industry partners to accelerate progress in quantum computing.

**About the role**:
This post is funded by EPSRC through its grant QCI3 Hub, led by the University of Oxford. Collaboration with other hub members around the UK is strongly encouraged. This post has funding for 24 months in the first instance

The postholder will work in collaboration with colleagues from the QCi3 Hub to pursue theoretical and computational research into areas of overlapping interest. These may include the translation of classical tensor network codes to run on quantum computers, using cold atom simulators for material simulation, hybrid digital/analogue quantum computation, and quantum machine learning

The post holder will join Prof Andrew Green’s research group which studies fundamental aspects of many body quantum dynamics and how the insights obtained can be harnessed to improve quantum and classical simulation.

**About you**:
The post holder will have mastery of analytical/numerical tools used to model quantum many-body systems, a proven record of proposing research and a track record of publications in a relevant area of science.

Experience of quantum simulation using tensor networks, research in quantum computation, programming in Python, collaborative code development using Github, and experience of one of more programming platforms for near-term quantum computers are desirable.

Appointment at Grade 7(£43,374 - £51,860) is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be at Research Assistant Grade 6B £38,607 -£41,255 including London Allowance, with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.

**What we offer**:
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below:

- 41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave 8 bank holiday and 6 closure days)
- Additional 5 days’ annual leave purchase scheme
- Defined benefit career average revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE)

- Immigration loan
- Relocation scheme for certain posts
- On-Site nursery
- On-site gym
- Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay
- Employee assistance programme
- Staff Support Service
- Discounted medical insurance
