Chair in Experimental Quantum Information Technology - Department of Physics, University of Strathclyde

Applications are invited for the post of Professor in Experimental Quantum Information Technology within the Optics Division in the Department of Physics at the University of Strathclyde. The position will extend and complement the Department’s existing strong research programme in quantum information theory and ultra-cold atom experiments. The position is part of a wider SUPA (Scottish Universities Physics Alliance) initiative seeking to establish University of Strathclyde as the focus for the Scottish activities in Quantum Information, which include active research programmes at Glasgow, St. Andrews and Heriot-Watt Universities.

You will be based in the Department of Physics at the University of Strathclyde but be expected to develop and strengthen links within the University and across SUPA. You will be expected to build up an internationally leading research activity, attract significant funding, publish in leading journals and contribute to teaching and to the strategic management of the Department.

With a PhD (or equivalent) in Physics or a related subject, you will have an excellent track record of publication in highly rated academic journals, of securing research funding and of delivering teaching at all levels.
