Reference: 1526521939
Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 2, UCD School of Physics, Temporary 24 months
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 2 within UCD School of Physics
The position is a 2-year postdoctoral researcher position in the School of Physics at University College Dublin in Ireland, hosted in the research group of Prof Andrew Mitchell. The project is funded through the Research Ireland Frontiers project "Nanoelectronic Quantum Simulators". The project will involve studying quantum circuits as a platform for analogue simulation of fundamental models of quantum matter, and developing tools from quantum information theory and quantum thermodynamics to characterize quantum devices. The group focuses on the theory and simulation of quantum devices and correlated materials for the development of quantum technologies. The group is embedded in the wider UCD Centre for Quantum Engineering, Science, and Technology (C-QuEST). For more information on the group and recent publications, see:
https://www.ucd.ie/nanoelectronics/
Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 2 Salary: €55,399 - €56,957 per annum
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 14-Aug-2026
Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 12:00 noon (Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. UCD are unable to accept late applications.
UCD do not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CV's submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned.
The PD2 post is intended for researchers that have completed PD1. As with the PD1, if you have already completed your PD2 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD2, or your total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 6 years, you should not apply and should refer to Research Fellow posts instead.
