Description :

Working within the UK Quantum Technology Hub for Sensors and Metrology, the person appointed will develop realistic computer simulation, design and optimization of the components needed to develop and commercialize atom-based quantum sensors, especially for innovative applications in brain imaging. These components include: electromagnetic shields, atom traps and chips, integrated optical components, structures made by additive manufacturing (3D printing) and quantum sensor prototypes.

The role will involve developing inverse methods and optimization techniques to design state-of-the-art components and sub-systems for the quantum sensors and to integrate them into functioning engineered sensor systems.

The post will also involve systems engineering and simulation of prototype quantum sensors in collaboration with industry, engineering colleagues, and a range of end users. Collaboration with experimentalists, materials scientists and device fabricators, researchers from other disciplines, and industry partners will be a vital part of the role.

Main Responsibilities:

Undertake technology research and development of optimised components for quantum sensors including electromagnetic shields, atom traps and chips, integrated optical components, structures made by additive manufacturing (3D printing) and quantum sensor prototypes.Develop and use detailed computer simulation and systems engineering software in order to design, analyse and atom-based quantum sensor components and prototypes according to the Hub’s milestones and deliverablesWork closely with experimentalists, crystal growers, additive manufacturing experts, device fabricators, and theorists in Nottingham Collaborate with colleagues undertaking related work at other institutions and in industry, undertaking national and international travel as required.Presentation and dissemination of project results in both oral and written communications including assistance in writing progress reportsPromote the UK Quantum Technology Programme to the public and potential end usersContribute to the training and personal development of PhD students

This post is fixed-term until 30 November 2019. Hours of work are full-time, however job share arrangements may be considered.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor Mark Fromhold, email: mark.fromhold@nottingham.ac.uk. Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
