Associate Professor of Physics (Quantum Technology) – University of Oxford

The Department of Physics and Balliol College are recruiting an Associate Professor (or Professor) of Atomic and Laser Physics (Experimental Quantum Science and Technology). The post will be held in the Department of Physics, together with a Tutorial Fellowship at Balliol College, University of Oxford. This is an opportunity to develop a world-leading research programme in experimental quantum science and technology with atoms, ions, molecules, photons, or similar quantum systems. We aim for a person who can engage strongly with the quantum-technology related activities in Oxford. This includes the prospect for collaborations with research groups in atomic and laser physics and condensed matter physics, associations with the QCI3 quantum Hub, the NQCC in Harwell, and the new Oxford Quantum Institute. The post is available from 1st April 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.
