The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research.
We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee.
Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.
The Role
We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for project PROTEQT (QuantERA) (Fixed term contract up to June 2027). The successful candidate will lead the theoretical and computational modelling aspects of the project, extending our work on symmetry-protected quantum states in interacting many-body systems and their implementation in superconducting quantum circuits.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The research will involve developing analytical models, performing large-scale numerical simulations of open quantum systems, investigating decoherence and noise processes, and exploring new architectures and control protocols for intrinsically protected quantum hardware.
About You
Applicants should have a PhD in theoretical physics, quantum physics, or a closely related discipline, together with expertise in quantum many-body theory, open quantum systems, or quantum information. Experience with advanced numerical methods for quantum systems, stochastic or phase-space techniques, high-performance computing, and scientific programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB, C/C++) is highly desirable, as is a strong publication record and the ability to communicate research effectively within an international collaboration.
