Quantum Engineer

Quantum Systems Scientist

The Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics, Clarendon Laboratory , Oxford Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in quantum condensed matter theory, working with Professor S. A. Parameswaran. The position will be supported from the UKRI Frontier Research Grant “Controllable Quantum Entangled States: Convergence at the Tunability Frontier (ConQuESt).” Postholders are expected to conduct research in collaboration with the Professor Parameswaran and other members of the Oxford Quantum Condensed Matter Theory group. Duties will include carrying out research in theoretical physics within the general areas supported by the grant; related tasks will include collaborating in the preparation of reports and journal articles, presenting papers at conferences and workshops, and representing the group at meetings /seminars. The position allows considerable flexibility in research topics, but the grant has as its main themes the exploration of new many-body quantum phases of matter that can be realized in engineered moiré heterostructures on modern quantum computing devices. The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach. Applicants should hold (or be close to completion) a PhD in Physics or a related field. A strong experience in quantum condensed matter physics or closely related topics and analytical or numerical background in the study of strongly-correlated topological phases, many-body aspects of quantum information, and/or non-equilibrium quantum dynamics are essential for this post.

How to Get a Better Quantum Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the emerging field of quantum computing can feel particularly discouraging, especially after years of specialised training and research. But as the UK continues to invest in quantum technologies across academia, defence, computing and cryptography, new roles are opening in both startups and national programmes. Whether you're a physicist, quantum software engineer, hardware specialist, or quantum algorithm researcher, this guide will help you turn redundancy into an opportunity for career growth.

Quantum Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is meaningless in today’s quantum landscape Ask a Quantum Software Engineer debugging Qiskit kernels at midnight, a Cryogenic Hardware Engineer coaxing qubits below 10 mK, or a Quantum Algorithm Researcher squeezing decoherence budgets: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer shifts faster than a Rabi oscillation. Since early 2024, the UK Government funded £2.5 billion across its National Quantum Strategy, Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum slashed circuit prices, & post‑quantum cryptography mandates yanked quantum literacy into cyber road‑maps. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed last year looks like an outdated calibration curve—blind to the silicon spin‑qubit breakthroughs in Cambridge, the Oxford ion‑trap scale‑ups, or the London quantum‑software unicorn that closed a £200 million Series C. To swap guesswork for evidence, QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk has distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority & you’ll instantly see a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks that formula, highlights the forces pushing quantum‑computing pay skywards, & gives five practical moves to lift your market value inside ninety days.

How to Present Quantum Computing Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Quantum computing is one of the most advanced, promising—and misunderstood—fields in technology. While the science behind quantum algorithms, qubits, and entanglement is complex, your ability to explain it clearly is becoming a core skill for anyone pursuing a job in the sector. Whether you're applying for a quantum software developer role, a research position, or a client-facing solution engineer post, many UK employers now assess your ability to present technical concepts to non-technical audiences—especially funders, executives, policy-makers, and clients. This guide will help you structure your presentations, simplify quantum concepts, use effective visuals, and deliver with confidence. Because in quantum computing, how you communicate is just as important as what you compute.
