Current Vacancies
Research Fellow (110134-0225)
For informal queries, please email Animesh Datta (Professor) at animesh.datta@warwick.ac.uk.
The Quantum Information Science group led by Professor Animesh Datta within the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick is seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to undertake research in quantum verification and property testing.
The Fellow will develop novel schemes for the property testing of quantum channels and their exploitation in the verification of quantum computation.
Emphasis will be placed on identifying the complexity of these schemes and extending these schemes to the error-corrected regime.
The position is a fixed-term contract for 2 years with the possibility of extension, available in connection with the UK QCi3 Hub.
About You
The candidate must have a strong background in theoretical quantum computation and information.
The candidate must have (or be expected to obtain shortly) a PhD in the relevant area in theoretical physics, computer science, or mathematics.
For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description in the link.
If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure.
Research Fellow x3 - Astronomy & Astrophysics (110036-0125)
For informal queries, please email Danny Steeghs (Professor) at d.t.h.steeghs@warwick.ac.uk.
The Department of Physics seeks to appoint several Independent Research Fellowships in our fourth cycle of the Warwick Prize Fellowships within the Astronomy & Astrophysics Group at the University of Warwick. Fellowships have an initial appointment of three years but may be extended by two additional years in case of exceptional performance.
Fellows will establish their own independent research program that overlaps and supports the research interests of the group. Key research areas at Warwick are exoplanets and discs, white dwarfs, compact binaries and accretion physics, extragalactic transients, stellar populations, gravitational wave astrophysics, and space domain awareness.
Funding for travel and IT equipment is available, as well as access to high performance computing.
About You
Applicants will have less than 5 years of active research experience (i.e. excluding career breaks) since their PhD award at the point of application deadline.
You will have a successful track record in leading astrophysical research projects, be an enthusiastic communicator capable of working effectively independently, and be able to strongly contribute as part of a larger research team. You will possess good planning and time management skills to ensure your research goals are achieved effectively.

Research Fellow (110028-0125)
For informal enquiries, please contact Maksym Myronov (Associate Professor - Reader) at m.myronov@warwick.ac.uk.
The Semiconductor Research Group (https://www.warwick.ac.uk/silicon) in the Department of Physics seeks to appoint a Research Fellow to support world class research and development activities on SiGe epitaxial materials for realization of quantum computer processor. Quantum computers promise to be one of the main technical advances of the forthcoming decades. As a member of the group, you will be responsible for epitaxial materials characterization and support of epitaxial growth research activities.
About You
You will have outstanding knowledge of the group-IV epitaxial semiconductor materials and devices physics and technologies. You will have, at least a few years, hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge of structural and electrical characterization of the group-IV semiconductor materials, including SiGe, and devices using TEM, SEM, AFM, XRD, XRR, FTIR, SE, Hall effect and resistivity, C-V and I-V characterisation techniques. You will be an excellent communicator capable of working effectively both independently and as part of a research team. You will possess excellent planning and time management skills to ensure your research objectives are achieved effectively. You will be responsible for defining milestones and timelines and ensuring timely projects executions. You will contribute to the group’s strategy, report your scientific findings internally to colleagues and collaborators, and disseminate them via journal publications and conference presentations. With your talent, passion and expertise, you will become part of a team that makes the impossible possible and broaden scientific knowledge.
