Postdoctoral Researcher in Quantum Information and Computation

University of Oxford - Mathematical Institute

Balint Koczor’s Quantum Information Theory group in the Mathematical Institute is looking for a highly motivated and exceptionally talented quantum theorist to lead new projects in the broad context of achieving practical quantum advantage using early quantum computers (noisy and early fault tolerant). This is a fixed term post and runs till the end of June 2027. The starting date of this position is flexible with an earliest start date of 1st December 2024. We particularly welcome applications from individuals who are able to start before March 2025.

The successful applicant will be part of the lively research environment in Oxford which hosts one of the largest concentrations of quantum research globally. They will be expected to guide more junior colleagues, including postdocs, research assistants, PhD and project students. The research will involve both analytical work and numerical computations.

Furthermore, the FLF project funds significant HPC resources (£250k) given a central theme of the project is to exploit classical supercomputers to improve the performance of early quantum computers.

They will contribute to the activities of the wider Quantum Information, Computation and Cryptography Group in the Mathematica Institute and write up the results of their work, either singly or with co-authors, for publication in refereed journals and proceedings. There will be opportunities to contribute a small amount of teaching to the department, of at most three hours a week during the academic terms.

You will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in mathematics or a related discipline, and possess sufficient specialist knowledge in the discipline to work within established research programmes. Excellent communication skills are essential, including the ability to write for publication, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings.

We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award, which guide our progress towards advancing racial and gender equality. As part of our strategic aim to improve staff equality and diversity, we would particularly welcome applications from women and BME candidates, who are currently under-represented in positions of this type within the department.
