英国华威大学2022年招聘博士后职位（量子信息科学）

Research Fellow (106045-0722)

University of Warwick

Description

The Department of Physics seeks to appoint a Research Fellow in quantum- enhanced sensing of novel phenomena at the interface of quantum and gravitational physics. Based in the quantum information science group of Dr. Animesh Datta, this position is part of a multi-institution project involving theoretical and experimental groups at Cardiff (Grote, Dooley), Birmingham (Boyer, Martynov), Glasgow (Hadfield), and Strathclyde (Reid).

You will develop theoretical schemes for quantum-enhanced sensing of novel phenomena such as gravitational effects in massive quantum superpositions, as well as the quantum aspects of gravity more generally. Particular emphasis is to be placed on the experimental feasibility of these schemes in interferometric and other setups on optical, mechanical, optomechanical or other platforms. Consequently, it will also develop methods of combating decoherence effects in these schemes, for instance by employing strategies from quantum information science.

You will work in collaboration with graduate students and other Research Fellows in the quantum information science group of Dr. Animesh Datta.

You will possess or be very close to obtaining a doctorate in theoretical physics or mathematics and have a strong background in quantum optics, quantum optomechanics, quantum information science (ideally quantum sensing). You are expected to demonstrate knowledge of areas of physics such as quantum- enhanced interferometry and familiarity with testing quantum models of gravity or modifications of quantum mechanics due to gravity.

You must be capable of maintaining a current knowledge of the literature in the above-mentioned areas and working within a broader research team, demonstrating strong written and verbal communication skills. You will be an excellent communicator capable of working effectively both independently and as part of a research team. You will possess excellent planning and time management skills to ensure your research objectives are achieved effectively.

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure (£30,497). Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£31,406 pa).

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.

Please direct all informal inquiries to Dr. Animesh Datta (Animesh.datta@warwick.ac.uk)
