Research Associate

This post is full time, and has funding for up to 2 years.

The School of Physics & Astronomy is looking for a Research Associate to contribute make a leading contribution to join the EPSRC funded Hub in the UK’s National Quantum Technology Programme, working as a post-doctoral researcher. The focus of the research will be on imaging with undected photons.

The Quantum hub in Sensors, Imaging and Timing (QuSIT) will leverage the power of quantum sensing, imaging and timing to address challenges in healthcare, infrastructure, transportation, security, enabling a safer, healthier, and more sustainable society. The QuSIT Hub is one of five Hubs within the UK Government’s National Quantum Technology Programme (UK NQTP), itself a £2.5B/10-year initiative as one of the five National Critical Technologies.

QuSIT is a £20M EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) flagship investment to create an international centre of excellence, providing thought, leadership and coordination across the quantum landscape. The hub is also in receipt of additional pledges for funding from the private sector and user groups totalling a further £30M. The research community associated with the QuSIT Hub numbers >35 academic researchers, and 80-100 early career and post-graduate researchers, with resourcing equally distributed between the imaging and sensing components.

We strongly encourage applications from a Physics or Engineering background and applications from traditionally underrepresented groups.
