Applications are invited for the position of a Research Fellow on the quantum simulation project at the University of Portsmouth. The main project will involve the development of robust quantum algorithms in the first- and second-quantised Hamiltonian models towards quantum chemistry.

The job post will be held in the research group of Dr Jaewoo Joo at the School of Mathematics and Physics (SMAP) in the University of Portsmouth, UK. This role will play a key role in a part of international research collaborations with the Quantum Computing Team at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in Korea.

Applicants are expected to have a PhD in a relevant area (e.g., quantum computing in Physics). The candidates should have a strong track record in the quantum computation and simulation field with experience of programming skills (i.e., Qiskit, Qutip, and Mathematica). The knowledge of physical systems for implementing quantum computers (e.g., superconducting circuits and ion traps) would be beneficial for conducting the project. The knowledge of quantum error-correction and computational skills for variational optimisation codes is also desired.

The post holder will work closely with international partners in Korea (main), USA and Canada and should be able to have international travels. This research fellow is expected to present research project findings to group members weekly and to write funding reports biannually as well as to contribute to effective dissemination of research outcomes nationally/internationally through publications and oral presentations. There is a probationary period of six months during which new staff are expected to demonstrate their suitability for the post and it is desired to assist with supervising research students and research-related teaching tasks.

The University of Portsmouth is committed to building a culturally diverse environment and strongly encourages applications from women and people from under-represented groups.
