About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental Quantum Sensing and AI-Driven Nuclear-Spin Control at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

This post is in experimental quantum sensing, with a focus on real-time autonomous optimisation of nuclear-spin sensing and control. The project builds on recent publications and integrates the Quantum Machines Open Acceleration Stack to support AI-driven quantum control and adaptive quantum sensing.

The successful candidate will lead experimental demonstrations for nuclear-spin quantum memories and work at the interface of quantum technologies, machine learning, Bayesian experimental design, and reinforcement learning. The role sits alongside two computational postdoctoral researchers and involves collaboration with Prof Tom Rainforth (University of Oxford) and Prof Giovanni Montana (University of Warwick).

Eligibility highlights include a background in experimental quantum technologies, with experience in NV centres in diamond or other colour centres particularly desirable. Strong Python skills are also requested.

The position is based at Heriot-Watt University and connects with the Integrated Quantum Networks (IQN) and Quantum Sensing for Biomedical Research (Q-BIOMED) hubs. The post is a postdoctoral research associate role; funding and salary details are not specified in the post.

Application deadline: 9 September 2026.

For more information, visit the group website and contact Prof Cristian Bonato by email.
