Applications are invited
for the position of Research Associate in the Department of Physics to join the
Computational Nonlinear and Quantum Optics (CNQO) group to support a project
in quantum lidar. The main task will be to provide theory and modelling
for the analysis of quantum lidar as part of the programme of the QuantIC
quantum imaging hub, part of the UK National Quantum Technology Programme.
Other duties will be to provide input into the design and analysis of
experiments planned in the Experimental Quantum Optics and Photonics Group at
Strathclyde and elsewhere.
The successful applicant for this position will have a PhD
(or equivalent) in quantum theory, or a closely related field. We are seeking
a researcher to develop models for the analysis of this form of remote quantum
sensing. The candidate should have a strong background in quantum physics, preferably
quantum optics or quantum information, as well as good programming or
scientific computing skills, e.g. MATLAB, Python and Mathematica.
Candidates must have excellent communication skills, the
ability to keep clear records, and to work independently and as part of a
team. An ability to prepare scientific publications and present research
outcomes at local, national and international research meetings is expected.
The post will be
