⚡ Quantum Brief
The UK’s National Physical Laboratory is hiring permanent senior scientists to advance quantum many-body theory and computing, supporting the nation’s Quantum Technologies missions. Roles focus on algorithm development for materials science, chemistry, and AI-driven quantum systems. Research areas include hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, decoherence modeling, and quantum error correction, with collaboration across academia, industry, and NPL’s experimental teams. Candidates should have expertise in computational physics, AI, or quantum technologies. Positions are open at multiple seniority levels, including Higher/Senior Scientist (PhD required) and graduate roles. Applications close February 28, 2026, but early submissions are encouraged due to potential deadline adjustments. Ideal candidates hold backgrounds in computational science, mathematics, or quantum fields, with experience in tensor networks, machine learning, or noise mitigation. Permanent contracts offer long-term research stability. For inquiries, contact Ivan Rungger or Yannic Rath directly. Senior role details are available via NPL’s careers portal, with separate listings for graduate-level scientist positions.
