Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in Atomic and Molecular Quantum Technologies
University of Bristol - School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience
Date: 12 hours ago
City: Bristol, CT
Salary:
$39,906
-
$50,253
per year
Contract type: Contractor
The role
Are you a talented individual with experience in Quantum Optics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Solid State Quantum Systems, or Quantum Memories? Join our team working on single molecule quantum technologies, atomic quantum memories, and nanophotonic devices.
As a member of our team, you will work on developing new quantum technologies based on single molecules and clouds of atoms. We are the leading UK group working on molecular quantum photonics, where we couple molecules to nanostructures to develop photon sources, investigate how molecules respond to various fields and forces and how they interact with their environment, and harness electron and nuclear spins in molecules. We are interfacing molecule emission with warm and cold atom quantum memories, with a goal of entangling memories across a network.
Apply now to be part of this exciting project and open the door to new opportunities beyond this role.
What will you be doing?
For informal enquiries please contact: Associate Professor Alex Clark ([email protected])
Contract type: Open-ended with fixed funding until 31/08/2028
Work pattern: 1 FTE
Grade: I/J
Salary: Grade I £39,906- £44,746 per annum, Grade J £43,482- £50,253 per annum
The grade of the role offered will be determined based on the skills, qualifications, and experience you bring to the position.
School/Unit: School of Physics
This advert will close at 23:59 UK time on Sunday 9th November.
Our strategy and mission
We recently launched our strategy to 2030 tying together our mission, vision and values.
The University of Bristol aims to be a place where everyone feels able to be themselves and do their best in 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 civic institution.
