About this position

The Integrated Quantum Networks (IQN) Hub is advertising two postdoctoral Research Associate positions at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK, working with Professor Cristian Bonato and the Quantum Photonics Laboratory.

The roles sit at the interface of machine learning and quantum technology, focused on the development and deployment of real-time autonomous optimisation of nuclear spin sensing and control. The two positions are designed to complement each other and will work closely together.

Computational Postdoctoral Research Associate: suitable for candidates with a background in AI, machine learning, applied mathematics, computer science, or theoretical physics. The role involves developing algorithms based on Bayesian experimental design, variational Bayesian inference, and reinforcement learning to enable autonomous detection and control of individual nuclear spins, with relevance to long-lived qubits and quantum memories.

Experimental Postdoctoral Research Associate: suitable for candidates with experience in experimental quantum technologies; experience with NV centres in diamond or other colour centres is particularly desirable. This role will further develop a real-time adaptive quantum sensing platform and lead experimental demonstrations of AI-driven quantum control for nuclear-spin quantum memories.

Both positions require excellent Python skills. The post highlights a collaborative and internationally connected research environment in quantum technology and AI, with work across the IQN Hub network.

Interested candidates should visit the group website for more information and contact Professor Cristian Bonato by email as soon as possible.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
