| Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical
Research invites applications for a Research Fellowship in Quantum Computing in
the School of Mathematics at the University of Bristol. The successful candidate must demonstrate prior
evidence of relevant accomplishments, and/or an outstanding research
track-record in a mathematical discipline (including Mathematical/Theoretical
Physics or Theoretical Computer Science) supported by clearly laid-out plans to
transition into Quantum Computing. Fellows divide their time equally
between their own research and the classified research programme in Quantum
Computing at the Heilbronn Institute, thus enjoying opportunities to engage in
collaborative work as well as individual projects. Due to the
nature of the Heilbronn Institute’s work, Fellows are required to obtain and
maintain a national security
clearance. UK resident UK nationals will normally be able to meet this
condition: other potential applicants should consult the Heilbronn
Manager, himr-recruitment@bristol.ac.uk about eligibility before applying. This post is funded through the
UKRI/EPSRC ‘Additional
Funding Programme for Mathematical Sciences‘ . For more
information about the Heilbronn Institute, see https://heilbronn.ac.uk/ The salary
range for this Fellowship is £39,745-£44,737 depending on previous experience. There is a
salary supplement of £3.5K pa in recognition of the distinctive nature of a
Heilbronn Fellowship. Payment of this supplement is conditional on a PhD thesis
having been accepted in final form. In addition, there
is a fund of at least £2.5K pa towards research expenses. The Fellowship will be for three
years, with a preferred start date of 1 October 2023, though another date may
be possible by prior agreement. The Heilbronn Institute is a supporter
of the LMS Good Practice Scheme aimed at advancing women’s careers in
mathematics and we particularly welcome applications from women and other
under-represented groups for this post. For more information,
please see https://heilbronn.ac.uk/diversity/ Candidates should apply via the online
University of Bristol recruitment site, http://www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/ and
search by the job number or with the keyword Heilbronn Research Fellowship. Applications
should include a CV and statement of proposed research (no more than one side
of A4). Candidates intending to transition to Quantum Computing should include
in their statement an explanation of the route they propose to take. They
should also ask three referees to email references to himr-recruitment@bristol.ac.uk prior
to the closing date. It is the candidate’s responsibility to ensure that the
reference letters are received prior to the closing date. Informal enquiries
about the research environment can be made to Professor Ashley
Montanaro: ashley.montanaro@bristol.ac.uk or
Professor Noah Linden: n.linden@bristol.ac.uk We anticipate holding interviews on
Monday the 23rd of January 2023.
The application deadline is 11.59pm
GMT, Sunday November 13th 2022. |
