Create job alert
The Applied Quantum NLP Research team in Quantinuum is seeking two interns for a 3/6-month project on Quantum Software Engineering, based at the Oxford office. Quantinuum's Oxford team works on quantum models of natural language, and has developed the open-source Python library lambeq [1]. The project will be supervised by Dr Dimitrios Kartsaklis, Head of Applied QNLP Research in Quantinuum, and it will involve the design and development of add-ons for lambeq that extend the functionality of the package in aspects such as: Quantum Machine Learning models, platforms and functionality; support of quantum circuits that represent text at the discourse level, as proposed in the DisCoCirc framework [3]; graphical interfaces for lambeq.


Must have:

  • MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Quantum Computing, AI, or a similar topic.
  • Excellent knowledge of Python, OOP, and software engineering principles
  • Familiarity with Quantum Machine Learning and variational quantum algorithms.
  • Knowledge of ML and QML libraries such as PyTorch, TorchQuantum, or PennyLane
  • This position also requires you to have the existing right to work in the UK.

Desirable:

  • Published work in NLP, QNLP, AI, or SE
  • Contributions to open-source projects
  • Web programming skills
  • Knowledge of tensor-based NLP approaches, such as the DisCoCat framework [2], and tensor networks.
  • Familiarity with mathematical models of meaning and category theory

10 Quantum Computing Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Quantum technology has raced from theoretical promise to practical prototype faster than any deep‑tech field in recent memory. The UK—already home to world‑class physics departments at Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Bristol—doubled down in late 2024 by adding £2.5 billion to the National Quantum Strategy, lifting the public‑funding pot to £5.5 billion through 2030. Private capital keeps pace: Dealroom logged £1.1 billion in UK quantum‑venture funding during 2024, while corporates from BP to Barclays spun up quantum‑proof‑of‑concept teams. Despite the cash surge, the sector’s headcount remains tiny. Research by the UK Quantum Skills Taskforce (Lightcast job‑ad data, June 2025) counts about 8,000 quantum‑skilled professionals nationwide—spread across algorithm research, cryogenic hardware, photonics, quantum‑software and adjacent DevOps. Yet monthly live vacancies average 120 – 150 nationwide, occasionally peaking near 200 when multiple start‑ups raise Series A rounds simultaneously. That mismatch turns every credible opening into a high‑stakes contest, and the right recruiter can be the difference between a generic rejection email and a signed offer. But not every tech agency truly “does” quantum. Many wave the buzzword without a single qubit vacancy on the books. To protect your time—and your CV—we vetted 60 + firms and kept only those with rock‑solid evidence of quantum‑computing placements: live job ads, dedicated practice pages, conference sponsorships or original salary research.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK: 2025 Guide to Hidden Roles

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and disruptive fields in science and technology. As the UK invests in a national quantum strategy—with funding for hardware, software, cryptography, and applications—demand for quantum talent is growing rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers miss: many quantum computing roles are never posted on public job boards. Instead, opportunities are shared quietly through research partnerships, industry working groups, spinout collaborations, and professional bodies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden quantum computing jobs in the UK. We’ll explore how to use membership directories, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), CPD events, and project funding announcements to gain visibility, build relationships, and find roles long before they’re advertised.
