We are seeking two research associates with experience in the broad area of quantum information science and technology, and an interest in quantum foundations more specifically, to work with Dr Jonte R Hance within the Advanced Model-Based Engineering and Reasoning (AMBER) Research Group in the School of Computing. These positions are funded under Dr Hance’s EPSRC Quantum Technologies Career Acceleration Fellowship, titled “Developing Quantum Advantage by Understanding the Paradoxical Aspects of Measurement in Quantum Systems”.
This project leverages foundations to pave the way for the novel quantum protocols, algorithms, and technologies of the future. You will work closely with internal collaborators, external project partners (including at the University of Bristol, Heriot-Watt University, Northumbria University, and the National Quantum Computing Centre in the UK, and Kyoto University, Nagoya University, Kagawa University, and Hiroshima University in Japan), and new and developing external collaborators. These 5-year fixed-term positions should provide a path to research independence, and Dr Hance will provide support and guidance for applying for independent fellowships and other such opportunities for developing independence throughout the term of the position.
