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.
