In 2024 we have both PhD and postdoctoral positions available. If you'd like to join us to explore fundamental quantum phenomena, develop quantum technologies, and apply these to problems from quantum sensing and imaging through to both quantum and neuromorphic computing, please look here for information on how to apply for a PhD with us , or join us as a Postdoc. If you're an undergraduate keen to try some life on the quantum edge, go here for information on our undergraduate programs. If you don't have a background in physics—but do have a background in engineering, computer science, or mathematics—consider joining us via the Master of Quantum Technology program.
