About this position
The University of Nottingham is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in quantum information and entanglement theory within the School of Mathematical Sciences. The researcher will work with Professor Gerardo Adesso and collaborators on the EPSRC/NSF-funded project “Entanglement Witness of Heterogeneous Surface Reactions”.
The project investigates the role of quantum entanglement in heterogeneous chemical reactions by combining quantum information theory, nanoscale sensing, and theoretical modelling of open quantum systems. The research aims to develop and apply methods for identifying and quantifying entanglement from experimentally accessible measurements, helping establish whether genuinely quantum correlations arise in chemical processes and how they may influence reaction dynamics.
The successful researcher will undertake original research of international excellence, develop research objectives and proposals, prepare papers for leading journals, and contribute to dissemination through conferences, workshops, and meetings. The role also involves supporting research grant development, providing guidance to junior team members where appropriate, and coordinating project meetings, workshops, and resources across UK and US collaborating teams.
This is an opportunity to contribute to an interdisciplinary research environment connecting quantum physics, mathematical sciences, nanoscale sensing, and chemical reaction dynamics at the University of Nottingham.
Funding details
Full-time fixed-term post for 24 months, with a salary of £35,608 to £38,784 per annum depending on skills and experience.
What's required
Applicants should hold a PhD, or be near completion of a PhD, in mathematics, physics, or a closely related discipline. They should have strong knowledge of quantum information theory and quantum entanglement, experience in theoretical or mathematical research in quantum physics or a related area, and research outputs appropriate to career stage. Applicants should be able to develop and apply analytical or computational methods, communicate complex research clearly to specialist and non-specialist audiences, organise research independently, manage competing priorities, meet deadlines, and collaborate across disciplines and institutions.
How to apply
