Seeking a theoretical researcher to develop quantum optics and quantum information approaches for advanced spectroscopy applications. The role focuses on designing novel quantum protocols, performing theoretical analysis, and collaborating with experimental and interdisciplinary research teams to advance next-generation quantum-enabled sensing technologies.
Responsibilities
- Develop theoretical quantum protocols using discrete-variable and continuous-variable quantum systems, including non-Gaussian states.
- Perform theoretical modelling, calculations, and literature reviews to support research objectives.
- Collaborate closely with experimental researchers to align theoretical developments with practical implementation.
- Work with external academic collaborators on cutting-edge quantum research.
- Contribute to the development of new theoretical approaches for quantum-enhanced spectroscopy.
- Publish high-quality scientific research and support knowledge dissemination.
Requirements
- PhD in Quantum Information, Quantum Optics, or a closely related field with a strong theoretical focus.
- Postdoctoral research experience is desirable but not essential.
- Strong background in theoretical quantum optics and quantum information.
- Experience with quantum state modelling, including discrete-variable and continuous-variable systems.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and scientific communication skills.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within multidisciplinary research teams.
- Curiosity, creativity, and a proactive approach to tackling open-ended research challenges.
Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Equity or share option opportunities.
- Opportunity to contribute to pioneering research with real-world applications.
- Collaboration with leading researchers across academia and industry.
- Professional development through publication and interdisciplinary research.
- Early-stage environment offering significant ownership and long-term growth opportunities.
