Technology Associate, QCi3 Hub

The Department of Physics seeks a Technology Associate to work with the
researchers and partners of the EPSRC Hub for Quantum Computing via Integrated
and Interconnected Implementations (QCi3 Hub). This role involves liaison
between three communities:





**Research base**. You will develop a detailed knowledge of the Hub's
research, spanning the work of over 50 Co-Investigators across 18 UK
institutions, and help researchers deliver impact from their work.





**Partners.** You will build relationships and facilitate collaboration
between new and existing Academic and Industrial Partners, and QCi3 Hub
researchers and leadership.





**UK National Quantum Technologies Programme**. You will communicate and
collaborate with the other Quantum Technology Hubs, the National Quantum
Computing Centre (NQCC), the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), EPSRC, the UK
Government Office for Quantum and other parts of the UK Quantum Technologies
programme. You will also support the Hub’s public dialogue and outreach
efforts.





The QCi3 Hub is a strategic collaboration of 18 universities and research
institutions, supported by 27 industrial partners, which is focused on taking
quantum computing from the lab to industry and other users. The QCi3 Hub is a
new project, building on the work of the last ten years undertaken in the
Networked Quantum Information Technologies (NQIT) and Quantum Computing &
Simulation (QCS) Hubs, as part of the UK’s National Quantum Technologies
Programme (NQTP). We have a superb team of scientists, engineers, professional
support staff and students working on software and small-scale quantum
processors and simulators, and critical technologies for fully scalable
machines.





You will already have or be able to develop an appropriate knowledge of the
relevant science and possess the interpersonal skills to work constructively
with leading scientists and to explain, in clear terms to non-specialist
users, the potential of the ideas generated. You will report to the QCi3 Hub
Co-Director for Engagement and work with the Engagement Team, researchers and
support staff in Oxford and other Hub universities and also with other parties
in the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme (UK NQTP).





This post is full time and fixed term for 12 months





The normal place of work will be within the Physics Department in Oxford; some
overnight travel and short-term work away from Oxford, including
internationally, may be required, normally not more than a total of 8 weeks in
any one year (FTE).





Hybrid working can be considered, with appropriate time spent in-person.





Only applications received before midday 6 January 2025 can be considered. You
will be required to upload a supporting statement, CV and details of two
referees as part of your online application
