The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research.
We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee.
Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.
The role
We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for project PROTEQT (QuantERA) (Fixed term contract upto June 2027). The successful candidate will lead the theoretical and computational modelling aspects of the project, extending our work on symmetry-protected quantum states in interacting many-body systems and their implementation in superconducting quantum circuits.
The research will involve developing analytical models, performing large-scale numerical simulations of open quantum systems, investigating decoherence and noise processes, and exploring new architectures and control protocols for intrinsically protected quantum hardware.
About you
Applicants should have a PhD in theoretical physics, quantum physics, or a closely related discipline, together with expertise in quantum many-body theory, open quantum systems, or quantum information. Experience with advanced numerical methods for quantum systems, stochastic or phase-space techniques, high-performance computing, and scientific programming (e.g. Python, MATLAB, C/C++) is highly desirable, as is a strong publication record and the ability to communicate research effectively within an international collaboration.
How to apply
To be considered for this role, please apply with a CV and covering letter via the University website.
The University of Surrey reserves the right to close this vacancy early or extend based on Volume and Caliber of applications.
