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 memory, and nanophotonic devices.

As a member of our team, you will develop new quantum technologies based on single molecules and clouds of atoms. We are the UK’s leading group working on molecular quantum photonics, attaching molecules to nanostructures to develop photon sources, investigating how molecules respond to different fields and forces and how they interact with their environment, and harnessing electrons and nuclear spins in molecules. We are working to connect particle emission with warm and cold atomic quantum memories, with the goal of entangling the memories across the network.

Apply now to be part of this exciting project and open the door to new opportunities beyond this role.

What will you do?

• It will work on molecular photon sources and atomic quantum memories.
• You will have the opportunity to work on cold and warm atomic systems, cryogenically cooled molecules, and integrated photonic systems.
• You will have day-to-day responsibility for designing and implementing experiments in collaboration with other members of QET Laboratories, And also with Center for Integrated Quantum Networks.
• You will contribute to the preparation and submission of manuscripts, reports and presentations.

You must apply then

• Interested in working on the latest technologies in quantum optics, photonics and quantum memory.
• You have experience in some of the following areas: atomic/molecular physics, quantum memory, solid-state quantum emitters, laser spectroscopy, quantum control, photonics, bulk optics, optical fibers, entanglement sources, or other quantum technologies.
• Have a doctoral degree (or are working towards one) in physics, electrical/electronic engineering, or other related discipline (or equivalent research experience) or equivalent professional experience in the desired area of ​​research.

Our strategy and mission

We recently launched our strategy Until 2030 we link our mission, vision and values ​​together.

The University of Bristol aims to be a place where everyone feels able to be themselves and do their best in an environment An inclusive work environment where all colleagues can thrive and reach their full potential. We want To attract, develop and retain people With different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives – especially people of colour, the LGBT community and people with disabilities – because diversity of people and ideas remains integral to our distinctiveness as a global civic institution.
