About the role

This post is funded by EPSRC through its grant QCI3 Hub, led by the University of Oxford. Collaboration with other hub members around the UK is strongly encouraged. This post has funding for 24 months in the first instance

The postholder will work in collaboration with colleagues from the QCi3 Hub to pursue theoretical and computational research into areas of overlapping interest. These may include the translation of classical tensor network codes to run on quantum computers, using cold atom simulators for material simulation, hybrid digital/analogue quantum computation, and quantum machine learning


The post holder will join Prof Andrew Green’s research group which studies fundamental aspects of many body quantum dynamics and how the insights obtained can be harnessed to improve quantum and classical simulation.

About you

The successful candidate will have a PhD (or have submitted their thesis ) or equivalent in Quantum Physics, Quantum Computation or a related discipline and experience of working collaboratively in a research environment .The post holder will have mastery of analytical/numerical tools used to model quantum many-body systems, a proven record of proposing research and a track record of publications in a relevant area of science.Experience of quantum simulation using tensor networks, research in quantum computation, programming in Python, collaborative code development using Github, and experience of one of more programming platforms for near-term quantum computers are desirable.Appointment at Grade 7(£43, - £51,) is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be at Research Assistant Grade 6B £38, -£41, including London Allowance, with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.

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.
