Research Associate in QET LABS /Senior Research Associate

The role We have a number of exciting research opportunities in the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs (QET Labs) at the University of Bristol. As a member of QET Labs, you will conduct research at the interface of quantum technologies, photonics, and experimental science. You will be part of a dynamic team and have the opportunity to interact with all members of QET Labs and the wider Bristol Quantum Information Institute. QET Labs has a mission to take quantum science discoveries out of the lab and engineer them into technologies for the benefit of society, including novel routes to quantum computing hardware, quantum communications, enhanced sensing and imaging, and new platforms to investigate fundamental quantum physics. The Research Centre consists of over 100 academics, researchers, staff, and students and sits within both the School of Physics and the School of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering. Multiple Research Associate positions are available of different durations. The duration of the post to be offered will be discussed following a successful interview. What will you be doing? Your responsibilities will include working with others to formulate project plans, developing new techniques for classical and quantum optics characterisation, and delivering research outputs. Quantum Computing Quantum Communications Quantum Sensing/Imaging Solid State quantum systems Integrated Quantum Photonics Pure or applied quantum information theory Cold and ultra cold atomic physics You should apply if You have a strong track record in the design, implementation, and analysis of photonic devices or quantum information processing with photons. You have expertise in optical engineering or quantum optics and a demonstrable understanding of its major platforms, e.g. integrated photonics, emitters. You have postgraduate (or equivalent) laboratory experience in one of experimental physics, optics, photonics, electronics, or a related discipline. You have a PhD (or equivalent qualification) and first degree in Physics, Electrical/ Electronic Engineering, or another relevant discipline. This position is presented as full-time. Flexible working options are considered. QET Labs is committed to helping researchers become independent academics and has extensive experience in aiding postgraduate research and doctoral applications. We aim to create an inclusive working environment where all colleagues can thrive and reach their full potential. We want to attract, develop, and retain individuals with different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives, particularly people of colour, LGBT+, and disabled people, because diversity of people and ideas remains integral to our excellence as a global institution. #J-18808-Ljbffr University of Bristol - School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience
